Dispense using the Core96 head.

Parameters:

  • dispense (DispensePlate | DispenseContainer) – The Dispense command to execute.

  • jet (bool) – Whether to use jet dispense mode.

  • blow_out (bool) – Whether to blow out after dispensing.

  • liquid_height (float) – The height of the liquid in the well, in mm. Used if LLD is not used.

  • dispense_mode (int | None) – The dispense mode to use. 0 = Partial volume in jet mode 1 = Blow out in jet mode 2 = Partial volume at surface 3 = Blow out at surface 4 = Empty tip at fix position. If None, the mode will be determined based on the jet, empty, and blow_out

  • air_transport_retract_dist – The distance to retract after dispensing, in mm.

  • use_lld (bool) – Whether to use gamma LLD.

  • minimum_traverse_height_at_beginning_of_a_command (float | None) – Minimum traverse height at beginning of a command, in mm.

  • minimal_end_height (float | None) – Minimal end height, in mm.

  • lld_search_height (float) – LLD search height, in mm.

  • maximum_immersion_depth (float | None) – Maximum immersion depth, in mm. Equals Minimum height during command.

  • tube_2nd_section_height_measured_from_zm (float) – Unknown.

  • tube_2nd_section_ratio (float) – Unknown.

  • immersion_depth (float) – Immersion depth, in mm. See immersion_depth_direction.

  • transport_air_volume (float) – Transport air volume, to dispense before aspiration.

  • gamma_lld_sensitivity (int) – Gamma LLD sensitivity.

  • swap_speed (float) – Swap speed (on leaving liquid) [mm/s]. Must be between 0.3 and 160. Default 10.

  • settling_time (float) – Settling time, in seconds.

  • mixing_volume (float) – Mixing volume, in ul.

  • mixing_cycles (int) – Mixing cycles.

  • mixing_position_from_liquid_surface (float) – Mixing position from liquid surface, in mm.
