MCA384 Commands
You can pick up one row or one column of DITIs if the DITI rack is on the
MCA384 System Carrier but you cannot pick up all 384 DITIs. The latter
option requires a locking mechanism for mechanical reasons which is not
provided on the MCA384 System Carrier.
If you pick up one row or one column of DITIs, the Pick up parameter in the
Get DITIs command lets you choose whether to mount them on the first or last
column (left or right side) or the first or last row (rear or front side) of the
pipetting head. The Position parameter then lets you specify the row or
column in the DITI rack from where to get the DITIs. This requires a relative
movement of the pipetting head.
Please note the following mechanical limitations: If you want to pick up e.g.
DITIs on the first column (left side) of the pipetting head, you must pick them
up starting with the last column (right side) of the DITI rack. If you pick up
DITIs from column 23 and column 24 still contains DITIs, you will pick up two
columns of DITIs instead of one column. Analogous limitations apply to
picking up DITIs on the right side of the pipetting head and picking up single
rows of DITIs on the front and rear of the pipetting head.
Adapter DiTi MCA384
You can only pick up DITIs if the DITI rack is on the MCA384 DITI Carrier. You
can only pick up all 384 DITIs. The MCA384 DITI Carrier does not allow
relative movements of the pipetting head.
Adapter 96 DiTi MCA384
You can pick up all 96 DITIs out of a box of 384 DITIs on any of the carrier
types that allow the MCA384 DITI rack.
You can pick up one row or one column of DITIs out of a box of 384 DITIs if
the DITI rack is on the MCA384 System Carrier. This requires a relative
movement of the pipetting head which is not possible for mechanical reasons
on the MCA384 DITI Carrier.
Adapter 96 DiTi 4to1 MCA384
The limitations for this head adapter are the same as “Adapter 96 DiTi
MCA384”.
Adapter QC MCA384
This special head adapter is used to protect the pipetting head during
transport and storage and is not intended for pipetting.
15.69.9 MCA384 Drop DITIs Command
The MCA384 Drop DITIs command is used to return the disposable tips of the
multi channel arm to a specified position on the worktable of the pipetting
instrument.
The MCA384 Drop DITIs command also allows you to drop one row or one
column of DITIs in to a box of 384 DITIs. See 15.69.9.1 “Limitations for different
head adapter types (dropping DITIs)”, 15-197 for more information.
