async LiquidHandler.aspirate96(resource: Plate | Container | List[Well], volume: float, offset: Coordinate = Coordinate(x=0, y=0, z=0), flow_rate: float | None = None, liquid_height: float | None = None, blow_out_air_volume: float | None = None, mix: Mix | None = None, **backend_kwargs)#

Aspirate from all wells in a plate or from a container of a sufficient size.

Examples

Aspirate an entire 96 well plate or a container of sufficient size:

>>> await lh.aspirate96(plate, volume=50)
>>> await lh.aspirate96(container, volume=50)
Parameters:

  • resource (Plate | Container | List[Well]) – Resource object or list of wells.

  • volume (float) – The volume to aspirate through each channel

  • offset (Coordinate) – Adjustment to where the 96 head should go to aspirate relative to where the plate or container is defined to be. Added to default_offset_head96. Defaults to Coordinate.zero().

  • flow_rate (float | None) – The flow rate to use when aspirating, in ul/s. If None, the backend default will be used.

  • liquid_height (float | None) – The height of the liquid in the well wrt the bottom, in mm. If None, the backend default will be used.

  • blow_out_air_volume (float | None) – The volume of air to aspirate after the liquid, in ul. If None, the backend default will be used.

  • mix (Mix | None) – A mix operation to perform after the aspiration, optional.

  • backend_kwargs – Additional keyword arguments for the backend, optional.
