Adding multiple orientations to a teachpoint

Procedure

You can add multiple orientations to a regrip station. You can also add multiple orientations to a teachpoint to reduce the number of regrips necessary during a protocol run. For example, if a teachpoint has both the landscape and portrait orientations, a regrip will not be required when transferring labware to and from this teachpoint.

To add additional orientations to a regrip station or a teachpoint:

1	Create another teachpoint at the same location but with a different orientation. A new entry appears in the teachpoints table.

2	If necessary, set the A1-well orientation. By default, a new teachpoint will always have the A1-away orientation. Drag the new teachpoint under an existing teachpoint.

 

CAUTION The new teachpoint must have a different orientation than the existing teachpoint. Otherwise, the software will prompt you to replace or reteach the existing teachpoint during the drag-and-drop operation.

3	Set the remaining teachpoint parameters.
