9 - Specifying Your Instrument Setup<br />

Configuring Labware<br />

slides the tips together to the minimum tip-to-tip spacing of 9 mm. In addition,<br />

it automatically centers the group of tips above the center of the trough.<br />

⌦ Teaching the Z coordinates of labware on the worktable:<br />

• Move one of the LiHa tips to the Z-Travel position above the first well of the<br />

labware (at the rear left of the labware) and click the corresponding transfer<br />

button. This copies the current LiHa Z coordinate to the Z-Travel field in the<br />

Edit Labware dialog box. We recommend you to use one of the middle tips for<br />

teaching (e.g. tip 3).<br />

• Repeat this process for the Z-Dispense, Z-Start and Z-Max positions.<br />

⌦ Teaching labware on the Te-MO with the LiHa<br />

The basic procedure to follow is similar to teaching labware on the worktable with<br />

the LiHa. However, teaching can only be done on sites 3 or 13 for a Te-MO 3x5<br />

and sites 2 or 8 for a Te-MO 3x3. In addition, to ensure that the LiHa can access<br />

the site, you must move the site you want to teach with to the RoMa transfer<br />

position.<br />

Collision avoidance is not available when teaching. Accordingly, take care when<br />

using the “Move To” button, which moves the selected arm directly to the<br />

destination using the shortest (diagonal) path. Move other arms out of the way to<br />

avoid the risk of collisions or use the cursor keys, which are slower but safer.<br />

Proceed as follows (the example is for site 3 of the Te-MO 3x5):<br />

• Make sure that the fixed tips or DITIs you want to use for teaching are already<br />

mounted on the LiHa.<br />

• Put the labware on site 3 of the Te-MO and on the <strong>Freedom</strong> <strong>EVOware</strong><br />

worktable.<br />

• Right-click site 3, choose Edit Labware Type and choose “LiHa”.<br />

• In the Te-MO tab of the Move dialog box, move the Te-MO pipetting head to<br />

the right-hand side using the cursor keys. See 9.3.7 “Moving the Te-MO”, 9-<br />

12.<br />

• In the Te-MO tab of the Move dialog box, choose “Left / 3” from the pull-down<br />

list and click Move to transfer position. If necessary, move other arms out of<br />

the way to avoid the risk of collisions.<br />

• In the LiHa tab of the Move dialog box, move the LiHa to site 3 of the Te-MO<br />

using the cursor keys. See 9.3.1 “Moving the LiHa”, 9-4.<br />

• Teach the X, Y and Z coordinates of the MCA as described in “Teaching the X<br />

and Y coordinates of labware on the worktable, above.<br />

See Tab. 8-9 “Te-MO 3x5 site numbers”, 8-104 and Tab. 8-10 “Te-MO 3x3 site<br />

numbers”, 8-104 for information on Te-MO site numbers.<br />

9.4.4.2 Teaching with the Te-MO pipetting head<br />

Specify the carrier, grid and site that you want to use to teach the labware:<br />

Choose the carrier from the list and then choose the grid position and the site.<br />

Alternatively, with the Labware Editor closed, put the labware on the worktable at<br />

the required position, right click the labware and choose Edit Labware Type from<br />

the context menu. This opens the Labware Editor with the correct settings.<br />

In the Edit labware dialog box, choose Te-MO from the pull-down list Device to be<br />

used for teaching.<br />
