Abstract

See full text

A method for defining an automated process which is to be carried out in a liquid handling system, wherein the liquid handling system comprises an outlet element (e.g. a pipette) for aspirating and/or dispensing a liquid volume, a numerically controlled movement apparatus for carrying out movements in connection with the aspiration/and or dispensing, and a controller for controlling the process, having the following steps:

    using a graphic user interface in order to enable the user to predetermine parameters which are to be used by the liquid handling system when carrying out one or several substeps of the process,wherein at least a first parameter is dependent on a second parameter in such a way that the first parameter is adjusted automatically by the system if the second parameter changes.
