Select the Wash Mode for the Cycle
Select either the
Bottom
or
Overflow
wash mode for the cycle.
The
Bottom
wash mode places the needles on the manifold in the well to the position
defined for the microplate type. During the wash cycle, only the bottom of the well is
washed.
The
Overflow
wash mode places the needles on the manifold above the well to the
position defined for the microplate type. During the wash cycle, the entire well is
washed. The wash solution is aspirated only after it reaches the aspiration needles on
the manifold.
When using the
Overflow
wash mode, Molecular Devices recommends that you use a
dispense volume that is slightly more than the well volume.
For information on defining the
Bottom
and
Overflow
positions for a microplate, see
