pylabrobot.opentrons.flex.flex_head.FlexHead8.dispense_in_place

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

Dispense volume uL where the head already is – one dispenseInPlace command.

Names no well, so no tracker moves with it (see aspirate_in_place). push_out (uL) pushes the plunger past its dispense bottom to clear the last drops; left out of the command entirely when None, so the robot applies its own default for the mounted tip and volume.

Put the tip AT THE LIQUID SURFACE first, not above it. Dispensing from height splashes, aerosolises, and leaves volume hanging in the tip. “The caller owns the position” means the caller owes it a good one, not that any position will do.

Parameters:

• volume (float)

• flow_rate (float | None)

• push_out (float | None)

Return type:

None
