pylabrobot.opentrons.flex.flex_head.FlexHead1.unsafe_blow_out_in_place

async FlexHead1.unsafe_blow_out_in_place(flow_rate: float) → None

Blow out where the head is, skipping the engine’s own checks.

The recovery counterpart to blow_out (see unsafe_drop_tip_in_place for what “unsafe/” buys). flow_rate is in uL/s and has no default here, the recovery path being an explicit one. Like unsafe_drop_tip_in_place it does not consult this head’s per-process tip bookkeeping, which is empty after a restart and would refuse the very recovery it exists for. Leaves the plunger past its dispense bottom, so the next draw needs priming.

Parameters:

flow_rate (float)

Return type:

None
