Example method 3: “Dispense Selected Reagents”
This method, which employs an 8-position multiposition valve for selecting
multiple reagents to be added to tubes or microplates, is a typical example
of the applications possible when a Valco or Cheminert valve is integrated
into the pump
/ M6-LHS system. A wash step (or in this case, a prime step)
is incorporated between reagents.
NOTE: Wash is always in the dispense or outward direction of the
pump, and can be used for washing with a system fluid, or, as in
this case, a reagent.
By now you should know how to enter all the information shown in Figure 12
to create this method. (Only the first four positions for the 8-position valve
are shown.)
TIP
You might find it handy to use the Duplicate button to create all
the nearly identical Multi Valve action lines, then go back with the
Insert button to create the Wash and Dispense lines.
