Utility description
Reformatting v2.0. This utility automatically transfers sample from any well in a 96-well source plate to any well in a 96-well destination plate. You can aspirate repeatedly from the same source and dispense into multiple destination wells. You can draw from multiple source wells and dispense into a single destination well. For example, you can use the utility to perform random hit picking, to pool samples, or to add an internal standard to selected wells in a Serial Dilution plate.
You use the Reformatting Method Setup Tool to create a method that specifies the following:
List of samples to be reformatted
Labware for the source and destination plates
Volume to be transferred (5–1000 µL)
Liquid-handling parameters, including options to prewet the pipette tips, specify a blowout volume, choose a liquid class, mix the source and destination wells, and specify a pre-existing volume in the destination wells
The utility uses your saved method to transfer the specified volume of source sample into the designated wells of the destination plate.
