pylabrobot.opentrons.flex.flex_head.FlexHead1.blow_out

async FlexHead1.blow_out(flow_rate: float | None = None) → None

Blow out at the current position – one blowOutInPlace command.

Pushes the plunger past its dispense-bottom to expel residual liquid from the tip(s) wherever the pipette currently is (no well addressing – position explicitly with move_to_well first). flow_rate (uL/s) defaults to the dispense default. Blowing out leaves the plunger past its dispense bottom, so the next draw needs priming: see prepare_to_aspirate. No trackers are involved.

Parameters:

flow_rate (float | None)

Return type:

None
