Hi @EricSindelar_Hamilton @BrandonBare_Hamilton @NickHealy_Hamilton ,
Do any of you have the labware definition for Matrix 0.5mL rack? I’m trying to troubleshoot why our labware definition isn’t working. After teaching the labware our tips are still hitting the bottom, and I’m unsure of the provenance of our labware definition.
Thanks in advance!
I uploaded a definition to the shared labware folder here. Let us know if this works for you!

Hi @bowlineknot ,
Keep in mind, especially if you are transporting the tube rack to different locations on the deck, that tubes will get pushed up on carrier positions that have a container bump. This will lead to the tubes having an artificially higher actual Z height in these locations based on the thickness of the tubes. This happens because the tubes act independently to the tube rack.
Not sure if this applies to your situation.

@BrandonBare_Hamilton thanks for the info and advise. That’s something I’ll have to watch out for.
@EricSindelar_Hamilton thanks for providing the labware definition.
It looks like our labware definition matches the file provided. I took a deeper dive and I have to make another version that accounted for the rack base to container base offset. I think I ended up with 2mm.
The other thing I adjusted was the container definition. The issue seems to have gone away with the adjustments I made.
