Pattern in which liquid is aspirated and dispensed. Patterns are defined in a transfer command. Patterns are
defined as regular patterns and irregular patterns. Patterns are independent in x-direction and y-direction.

Procedure
Sequence of commands that are executed one after the other. Part of an application.

R

Rack
Mount for tubes or pipette tips.

Remaining volume
Volume that cannot be aspirated from a vessel. The distance from the pipette tip to the vessel base, defined
in the software, and the defined immersion depth of the pipette tip in the liquid, must be observed.
Therefore, the pipette tip cannot aspirate the volume. The remaining volume depends on the vessel
geometry.

Reservoir
Reservoirs are used to hold reagents. Reservoirs are hung in a ReservoirRack or placed directly on the
worktable.

Result list
ID list with information on destination labware and intermediate labware. The result list contains the IDs of
destination positions and intermediate positions. epBlue creates a result list for each destination labware
and intermediate labware for which ID tracking is active.
