NUMBER OF DIPS:
Indicates how often the gripper dips the rack
into a reagent container before the rack is
immersed in that container. ‘Yes’ must be
selected in the DIPS column of the corre-

No dips are performed if the setting
“Number of Dips = ’0’“ is used, even
if ‘Yes’ is entered in the DIP column
in the program.
•
LIFT SPEED:
Indicates at what speed racks are removed
from reagent containers. The smaller the
numbers selected, the slower the speed. At
slower speeds, less reagent is carried over.
