I am just wondering if there are any ways to program a 16-channel Starlet to pipet samples from a 32-tube carrier to a 24-tube carrier for batch-like processing. The Deck areas for random access 16 channels say no, but I just want to verify.
The STAR Channel Tools :: CHAN_ACCESS_Sort2Sequences function will allow the pipetting that you described without running into channel access restrictions. STAR Tip Tools :: Optimized1mLTipPickup2 function will perform the same action but for tip pick up as well.
The demo method that includes both libraries can be downloaded here.
