Can the SMART cassettes with RFID tags be used with the standard Multidrop Combi without SMART option or vice versa?
Yes, the cassettes are interchangeable, however, the calibration data cannot be viewed and the information about the cassette is not updated. Also standard cassettes can be used with the Multidrop Combi with SMART option.
What should I do if the liquid foams during dispensing with the Multidrop Combi?
Some liquids foam more easily than others. One option is to reduce the pump rotor speed. There are three dispensing speeds available: High, Med (medium), and Low.
What materials come into contact with liquids to be dispensed by the Multidrop Combi?
The Small tube plastic tip dispensing cassette, Cat. No. 24073290, and the Standard tube dispensing cassette, Cat. No. 24072670, are made of: PEEK, silicone, and PP (polypropylene).
The Small tube metal tip dispensing cassette, Cat. No. 24073295, is made of: PEEK, silicone, ruby, and stainless steel.
Do particles in the reagent affect dispensing with the Multidrop Combi?
Possibly. It is recommended that you ensure that there are no particles greater than 50 μm in the reagent to avoid blockage of the tips, especially when working with small tube cassettes.
What is the tip inner diameter (ID) of the dispensing cassettes of the Multidrop Combi?
The tip inner diameter (ID) is either 0.22 mm (Small tube plastic tip dispensing cassette, Cat. No. 24073290, and Small tube metal tip dispensing cassette, Cat. No. 24073295), or 0.5 mm (Standard tube dispensing cassette, Cat. No. 24072670).
