I have a Tecan Fluent 1080 with a full worktable. This assay requires 500uL tips from the MCA, which do not come in stacked/nested versions, and thus occupy a fair amount of real estate. In my photo below, marked with a RED “X”, I have a single 384-well source plate on top of a blue (Apolo apilo) spring loaded plate cushion.
Does anyone have experience working with a worklist, which may call for different source plates, and be able to utilize the RGA “on-the-fly” to swap out plates as needed?
My worklist would be simplified, whereby various plates would only be called out sequentially. I’m curious if there is a way to have the RGA call the “Transfer Labware” function while processing.
