Tip:
For plate washing, minimal residual volume is best achieved using
Crosswise aspiration, a rate of 5, a fast descent speed, a 1 second dwell time,
and 0 mm to 0.2 mm probe height.
Note:
To prevent overflow when using the Wash function with a plate wash
head, add a surfactant such as Tween to wash solutions.
