TipDisposal – located where the syringe tip is within the tip-stripping
fixture, with the forks of the fixture surrounding the syringe tip mandrel,
and just above the top of a disposable tip so that an upward movement of
the robot will strip off the disposable tip.
The coordinates of any position selected from the list along the left will be
shown in the box entitled “Position Coordinates(steps)”. The user can directly
modify these coordinates, then move to the modified coordinates. However,
the actual saved coordinates of that position will NOT be overwritten unless
the user clicks on the “Save Point at Current Location” button on the right.
The screen button “Set Skew” allows the user to adjust the calculated locations
Of plate wells in case an individual nest is not in perfect alignment with the
X- or Y-axes. Pressing this button when teaching a plate nest position will
provide the user with instructions on how to make this adjustment. This is
important particularly when dealing with 1536-well plates.
The screen button “Relax Motors” can be used to remove power from all 3
robot axes, allowing the user to manually maneuver the tip to the desired
location. Clicking on that button again will restore motor power.
