Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Which components for the Versette Automated Liquid Handler have serial numbers?

Serial numbers are listed on the three individual components which make up the complete instrument: base unit, six position stage, and 96/384 pipetting module. Additionally, the pipetting heads and the peristaltic pump have serial numbers for traceability.

What is the maximum volume held by each Automation Reservoir used with the Versette Automatic Liquid Handler?

The maximum volumes for the Automation Reservoirs are as follows:

- 96-channel reservoirs hold a minimum of 95 mL w/ baffle and 125 mL w/o baffle
- 96-channel DW reservoirs hold a minimum of 160 mL w/baffle and 220 mL w/o baffle
- 384-channel reservoirs hold a minimum of 65 mL w/baffle and 95 mL w/o baffle

What are the minimum (dead) volumes for the Automation Reservoirs used with the Versette Automatic Liquid Handler?

The minimum dead volumes for the Automation Reservoirs are as follows:

- 96-channel reservoirs: 5 mL
- 384-channel reservoirs: 4 mL

Does the Versette Automated Liquid Handler have liquid level detection?

No, liquid level detection is not available on the Versette Automated Liquid Handler.

What would happen if the wrong pipetting head is installed in the Versette Automated Liquid Handler?

The Versette Automated Liquid Handler incorporates RFID technology to identify which pipetting head is installed in the system. The protocol will prompt the user to check/change the head if the wrong head is installed for a specific protocol being run.
