Figure 3-28:
Compound & Tips Columns Window with Three Transfers
In the previous illustration, the instrument is configured for three fluid
transfers as follows:
•
Wells to Read selection of columns 1 through 4.
•
Compound Source selection of a 12-column compound plate.
•
Pipette Tips Layout selection of a full rack of tips.
From those settings, the SoftMax Pro Software selects tip and compound
columns 1 through 4 for the first transfer. The second transfer uses the
next four columns (5 through 8) and the third transfer employs the
remaining four unused columns (9 through 12).
This settings show one, two, or three transfers, with blue, pink, and
green color-coded tips to match the setting made in the Compound
Transfer window.
There are two menus: Tips Column and Compound Column.
•
The Tips Column menu displays a sequence of numbers that
match the Pipette Tip Layout settings.
•
The Compound Column menu displays numbers from 1 through
the number of columns of the compound plate or the number of
troughs selected in the Compound Source tab.
A tips or compound row displays 12 columns to represent the number of
columns in a 96-well assay plate. The actual number of columns and their
placement further depends on the number of columns and their
locations as selected in the Wells to Read settings window.
