# Definitions We try to keep jargon to a minimum, but some terms are commonly used in lab automation speak/PLR docs. It is a form of tacit knowledge. In some cases it's best to accept the universally used terms and not reinvent the wheel with more descriptive/longer terms. In those cases, we help newcomers by defining those terms here. | Term | Definition | |-|-| | 96 head | A pipetting head with 96 channels that do not move independently. |
