How to lift reagent container lid (20ml)

Hello!

I was wondering if it is possble to use one channel (out of 8) to lift the lid of a RGT20mL Container?

Furthermore I could not find the 20 mL Container RCK-file, only the 50 mL container (searched the Library here as well).
Could anyone provide the file or can I use the 50 or 60 mL container?

Also I see that the barcode reader tries to read the barcode at a higher Position than physical possible (because The Carrier is a 5R 60 mL carrier - has anyone got some experience in fixing this?

Best wishes

See post below for a link to the labware (trough and lid).

Yes, the CO-RE interface on the lid allows for pickup with the standard 1mL channels. One would use the Tip Pickup function, adjusting the channel pattern accordingly. The lid can be parked on an adjacent unlidded 20mL trough.

The trough itself is too short for the 1D autoload. For newer systems equipped with a 2D autoload and running VENUS 6, the labware properties could be modified so it can be read:

Works perfectly by the way - thank you so much. :blush:

Watching the robot fells like experiencing a symphony by the way - so many small parts working together - I am still amazed every time! :robot: :musical_notes:
