async STAR.discard_tip(x_positions: List[int], y_positions: List[int], tip_pattern: List[bool], begin_tip_deposit_process: int = 0, end_tip_deposit_process: int = 0, minimum_traverse_height_at_beginning_of_a_command: int = 3600, z_position_at_end_of_a_command: int = 3600, discarding_method: TipDropMethod = TipDropMethod.DROP)

discard tip

Parameters:

• x_positions (List[int]) – x positions [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 25000. Default 0.

• y_positions (List[int]) – y positions [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 6500. Default 0.

• tip_pattern (List[bool]) – Tip pattern (channels involved). Must be between 0 and 1. Default 1.

• begin_tip_deposit_process (int) – Begin of tip deposit process (Z- range) [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 3600. Default 0.

• end_tip_deposit_process (int) – End of tip deposit process (Z- range) [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 3600.

• minimum_traverse_height_at_beginning_of_a_command (int) – Minimum traverse height at beginning of a command 0.1mm] (refers to all channels independent of tip pattern parameter ‘tm’). Must be between 0 and 3600.

• z-position_at_end_of_a_command – Z-Position at end of a command [0.1mm]. Must be between 0 and 3600.

• discarding_method (TipDropMethod) – Pick up method Pick up method. 0 = auto selection (see command TT parameter tu) 1 = pick up out of rack. 2 = pick up out of wash liquid (slowly). Must be between 0 and 2.

• z_position_at_end_of_a_command (int)

If discarding is PLACE_SHIFT (0), tp/ tz = tip cone end height. Otherwise, tp/ tz = stop disk height.
