async STAR.pick_up_tips96(pickup: PickupTipRack, tip_pickup_method: Literal['from_rack', 'from_waste', 'full_blowout'] = 'from_rack', minimum_height_command_end: float | None = None, minimum_traverse_height_at_beginning_of_a_command: float | None = None)#

Pick up tips using the 96 head.

tip_pickup_method can be one of the following:

  • “from_rack”: standard tip pickup from a tip rack. this moves the plunger all the way down before mouting tips.

  • “from_waste”:

    1. it actually moves the plunger all the way up

    2. mounts tips

    3. moves up like 10mm

    4. moves plunger all the way down

    5. moves to traversal height (tips out of rack)

  • “full_blowout”:

    1. it actually moves the plunger all the way up

    2. mounts tips

    3. moves to traversal height (tips out of rack)

Parameters:

  • pickup (PickupTipRack) – The standard PickupTipRack operation.

  • tip_pickup_method (Literal['from_rack', 'from_waste', 'full_blowout']) – The method to use for picking up tips. One of “from_rack”, “from_waste”, “full_blowout”.

  • minimum_height_command_end (float | None) – The minimum height to move to at the end of the command.

  • minimum_traverse_height_at_beginning_of_a_command (float | None) – The minimum height to move to at the beginning of the command.
