pylabrobot.opentrons.flex.flex_head.FlexHead8.air_gap_in_place

async FlexHead8.air_gap_in_place(volume: float, flow_rate: float | None = None) → None

Draw a volume uL air gap where the head already is – one airGapInPlace command.

The same plunger motion as aspirate_in_place, but the robot books the volume as air, so park the tip above the liquid first. flow_rate (uL/s) defaults to the aspirate default. Refuses an unprimed plunger the same way aspirate_in_place does. No tracker is involved.

Parameters:

• volume (float)

• flow_rate (float | None)

Return type:

None
