Te-MO Commands
15.56.7 Te-MO Drop DITIs Command
The Te-MO Drop DITIs command is used to return the disposable tips to a
specified position on the Te-MO.
Fig. 15-91 Te-MO Drop DITIs command
The parameters of the Te-MO Drop DITIs command are as follows:
Back to source
This option returns the DITIs back to the Te-MO carrier and slide position from
where they were fetched with the Te-MO Get DITIs command.
Note: If you switch off the pipetting instrument with the DITIs still attached, it will
forget the Te-MO carrier and slide position from where the DITIs were fetched.
The option Back to source will then display an error message when the script is
validated.
Back to position
Specify the position where the Te-MO should return the DITIs by clicking on
the Te-MO DITI rack in the Worktable Editor. The type or label (name), the Te-
MO grid position and the site of the DITI rack are then shown in the gray
(protected) fields, see also Tab. 8-9 “Te-MO 3x5 site numbers”, 8-104. You
must first put a Te-MO DITI rack in the Worktable Editor at the required
position. You can only put Te-MO DITI racks on the middle slide of the Te-MO.
Discard DITIs into waste
Check this checkbox if you want to discard the DITIs after returning them to
the specified position. After putting down the DITIs in the DITI rack, the rack
will be pushed into the waste chute. This operation requires the DITI rack to
be positioned on the front most site of the centre slide.
15.56.7.1 Side movements when dropping Te-MO DITIs
Under unusual environmental conditions (e.g. very dry ambient air), Te-MO DITIs
may not drop reliably due to electrostatic charging of the plastic tips. In such
cases, you can specify an optional side and/or vertical movement of the Te-MO
pipetting head directly after releasing the tips.
This is done by adding entries to the [TEMO] section of the configuration file
evoware.opt using a text editor. evoware.opt is in the \Database
directory.
Add the following line to move by 10 instrument steps (10 x 0.1 mm) in the X
direction:
