Commands for the Te-VacS
Collection plate panel
Use collection plate
Check this checkbox if you want to use a collection plate. A collection plate is
used to collect the liquid which is extracted from the filtration plate.
Absorbent station panel
The absorbent station uses a blotting pad to remove drops of liquid from the
bottom of the filtration and/or collection plate after each filtration step. It usually
consists of a stand or carrier that contains a piece of fabric or absorbent material.
It can also be programmed to be a replaceable item. The filtration or collection
plate is put on to the absorbent station using the RoMa.
The settings in this panel are only available if you have specified a location for the
absorbent station in the device configuration (see 8.5.29.3 “Te-VacS Configuration
- Command Generation Tab”, 8-107).
Use for filtration plate
Check this checkbox if you want to blot the filtration plate on the absorbent
station.
Use for collection plate
Check this checkbox if you want to blot the collection plate on the absorbent
station. This option is only available if you are using a collection plate.
Replace absorbent after each use
Check this checkbox if you want to replace the absorbent station each time it
is used. The necessary replacement intervals depend on your application or
experiment.
Sequence panel
The sequence panel is used to configure the sequence of plate robot (RoMa)
movements if the Te-VacS process step follows and/or precedes another Te-VacS
process step. In this case, some of the RoMa movements can be omitted because
the labware item(s) have been left at the required position by the preceding step
and/or can be left at the required position for the following step.
Freedom
EVOware Plus
If your Freedom EVOware Plus process has several Te-VacS process steps which
are not directly connected, you must reserve the Te-VacS in the Process Editor
(see 11.5.8.1 “Reserving and Linking Devices”, 11-14). If you don’t make a
reservation and the Te-VacS is used by several processes, the Te-VacS vacuum
block and the plates may not be positioned as expected.
Follows a previous Te-VacS step
Check this checkbox if the Te-VacS process step follows a previous Te-VacS
process step.
Execute all moves
Carry out all of the RoMa movements which are normally required by this
step.
Filtration plate is already on block
The filtration plate is already on the vacuum block. The associated RoMa
movement is not necessary.
Collection plate is already on position
The collection plate is already at the correct position. The associated RoMa
movement is not necessary.
