Dispensing speed
Dispensing speed
8 levels are available. The higher the numerical value, the higher the
speed.
Dispensing speed will be automatically and approximately used for
the blow-out (Blow).
Set time
Interval between the dispensing step (0.1 s to 10 s).
Number of steps
Number of dispensing steps
The available number of dispensing steps depends on the setting for
Set volume/step and is automatically set to the maximum number
when Set volume/step is edited.
Under steps in the "Sequential dispensing" mode, the selected
number of dispensing steps will be displayed to the right, and the
dispensing step for the displayed volume will be shown at the left.
Set counter
The counter counts the number of dispensing operations performed.
The numerical value of the counter is increased by
1 when the piston
reaches the basic position after dispensing.
If the piston is in the basic position, you can alternatively set the
counter to
0 by turning the selection dial forward or backward.
You can switch the counter on and off in the Options.
Mixing volume
The mixing volume used after pipetting. If you change the pipetting
volume under
Set volume , the mixing volume changes accordingly.
Mixing cycles
1
to 99 mixing cycles can be set for the mixing volume. The mixing
cycles are counted down to 0 . If you keep the rocker pressed down
during mixing, after 0 has been reached, mixing is continued until the
rocker is released. If you press the rocker up during mixing, the mixing
process is stopped.
The mixing speed matches the selected speed for aspiration and
dispensing.
