Hamilton Mixing 96-Head Retraction

Hello,

It has been quite easy to install the plasma cleaner onto the deck. We have the Hamilton think that it is pipetting to a plate on a liquid waste rack. Then you can teach the position in the editor. From there we ended up using the prerinse mixing and then had it “dispense” above the wells of the plasma cleaner to make sure that the sensor would not be triggered again. We are trying to use the tips for media dispensing into a 384 well plate. (Have not conducted testing on whether or not the cells could be damaged from the cleaning cycles). But the tips we are using are the 300uL conductive filtered black tips from Hamilton, and they seem to be withstanding the 3 cleanings that we are aiming to do. (Just trying to dispense into all quadrants of the plate without changing tips). Since the media is also a more viscous material we are implementing a water wash in between from the dispense of the media into the plate and before the cleaning in the plasma cleaner.

I will have more updates as we are able to commence more testing. I hope this helps!
