10. Select YES to specify a sweep. The display will read:

All cycles?	NO
YES	NO

Note: If a sweep is specified, the wash pins are moved up and down and across the bottom of the well during aspiration to better remove all droplets of liquid. If NO is selected, the Wash height? prompt (Step 14) will be displayed.

Note: Use the sweep function with Flat or “C” bottom plates only. Sweeping aspirates fluid more completely from the wells than a regular aspiration. Sweep all cycles to get the most thorough well aspiration when using multiple aspiration cycles, but remember that each sweep adds seconds to the protocol.
