ATTENTION
Risk of the tips colliding with the waste and/or the washer.
• Please check the coordinates of the waste and/or the washer before
activating these options. Otherwise the tips might collide with the labware.
DITI Handling panel
Optimize positions when fetching DITIs
If you check this checkbox, the following method is used to reduce the number
of LiHa movements which are needed when getting DITIs (i.e. to speed up the
Get DITI commands):
If you choose all of the tips in the Get DITI command, they are picked up
starting at the beginning of the DITI rack (for the 8-tip LiHa: positions 1 to 8).
The next eight tips are then picked up at positions 9 to 16.
If you do not choose all of the tips in the Get DITI command, they are picked
up at the end of the DITI rack (starting at position 96).
This feature ensures that the beginning of the DITI rack always has full rows
of fresh DITIs which can be picked up in a single movement.
This optimization feature is permanently activated for the Freedom EVO 75
pipetting instrument with the 2-tip LiHa or 8 PLus 1 Access option (see
A.7 “Freedom EVO 75 Pipetting Instrument - LiHa Configuration”, A-30).
DITI fetch mode
Specify the required DITI fetch mode as follows:
Sequential: The DITIs are mounted one after the other sequentially..
Even/Odd: All of the even-numbered DITIs are mounted simultaneously (2, 4,
6, 8) followed by all of the odd-numbered DITIs simultaneously (1, 3, 5, 7).
This option requires a reinforced DITI support bracket (hardware option).
All parallel: All of the DITIs are mounted simultaneously. This option is only
allowed for mounting up to four DITIs (maximum). In addition, this option
requires a reinforced DITI support bracket (hardware option).
The options Even/Odd and All Parallel reduce the time required to mount the
DITIs (increased performance).
Speed up Movements panel
Use fast positioning in XZ
When the LiHa moves across a single labware item in the X direction, for
example for reagent distribution, the tips are normally moved upwards (Z
direction), then across to the next column of wells and then down again.
Check this checkbox to enable smart moves. In this case, the X and Z
movements take place simultaneously and the tips follow a curved or
parabolic path instead of a rectangular path. This reduces the time required
for the movement.
