You use this task to aspirate a series of fractions via the probe, then dispense the total volume aspirated into a recipient vessel. Each liquid aspirated is sepa- rated by an air gap (if air gap is configured as > 0).

You may also aspirate an ‘Extra volume’ to ensure the accuracy of the first fraction. This ‘Extra volume’, which is aspirated with the first fraction, is dispensed at the end of the process, into the waste.

When you configure disposable tips in air mode, ‘Extra volume’ is replaced by ‘Air push volume’ in this task.

1.Aspirate an air gap.

2.Aspirate the first fraction (with ‘Extra volume’, if specified).

3.Aspirate an air gap.

4.Aspirate the second fraction.

5.Aspirate an air gap.

6.Aspirate the third fraction.

7.Dispense all except ‘Extra volume’ into recipient vessel.

8.Dispense ‘Extra volume’ to waste.
