16.6 Commands for the Columbus Washer
The Columbus Washer is used for stripwise washing of 96-well microplates
(optional: 384-well microplates). It can be equipped with either a 8, 12 or 16 way
manifold or a 384 way manifold, each of which are provided with one aspirating
and one dispensing needle per well. It can store up to 9 user-defined labware
types that define the dispensing and aspirating positions for round or flat bottomed
plates. The dispensing and aspirating speeds can be selected from 5 pre-defined
speed settings. For dispensing, an additional drip mode setting is available which
allows a wash liquid to be added drop by drop. In the soaking phase, you can also
activate a microplate shaking mechanism. These features allow the device to be
used for all ELISA microplate washing applications including cell washing.
16.6.1 Columbus Washer - WashPlate command
The WashPlate command performs the washing of a microplate.
The washing parameters you specify with this command are used to create a
washing program which is copied to the first program position in the Columbus
washer and then executed. If the first program position in the washer already
contains a user-defined washing program, it is overwritten.
Execution parameters
You are prompted to specify the execution parameters when you add this
command to your script or process. The dialog box has three tabs.
