Locate the source, drive and receiving position for this task
Specify vessel opening and bottom geometry, minimum liquid level, positioning accuracy and sampling, washing or mixing targets. Trace contact surfaces, pressure and destinations along the diagram before assigning pump and connection roles.
Define probe and mixing interfaces from vessel geometry
Specify the vessel, minimum liquid level, target dose, bottom clearance and wash coverage before selecting a design. Mixing components also require speed, immersion, foaming and reaction requirements.
| Condition to compare | Information required | Selection affected |
|---|---|---|
| Container geometry | Opening, bottom, liquid level and accessible positions | Define length, shape and motion range |
| Task category | Sampling, internal/external washing or reaction mixing | Separate interface and action requirements |
| Contamination paths | Contact surfaces, shared sections and wash areas | Define coverage and readiness for the next vessel |
Compare product options against task requirements
The following candidate options match this page's responsibilities. Compare them against the operating conditions described, then check capacity, materials and interfaces on the product pages. Card images show representative configurations; suitability must still be confirmed at actual operating points and by application results.
| Product category | Corresponding role | Confirm before selection |
|---|---|---|
| Custom sampling probe | Sampling interface between source container and fluidic path | Compare custom geometry by minimum liquid level, probe-tip clearance and actual sample |
| Custom wash probe | Washing interface for probe interiors/exteriors or containers | Confirm contaminated surfaces, coverage, aspiration height and peak waste removal |
| Custom mixing paddle | Reaction mixing inside the container | Compare geometry and motion through uniformity, foam and method response |
Confirm position before liquid motion
Combine position confirmation, liquid operations and washing into a cycle. Needle interiors/exteriors and vessel walls/bottoms have different contaminated surfaces. Set aspiration height separately for supernatant or solid-phase tasks.
Action records should link commands, valve or interface states and actual received results. When raw material, container or sample identity changes, reconfirm shared paths and conditions permitting the next step. Completion of drive movement alone does not replace task acceptance.
Check delivery and residue in actual vessels
Check delivery, residual liquid, coverage and method results in the actual container. Select high/low-concentration sequences, recovery or mixing-uniformity tests for the specific task.
| Validation scenario | Measurement or observation | Interpretation and action |
|---|---|---|
| Task outcomes | Measure delivery, residual liquid or mixing uniformity separately | Assess components against their actual task |
| Complete cycle | Include vessel changes, washing and maintenance | A successful single action does not establish contamination control across a batch |
Record test medium, configuration, installed path and operating sequence; present routine operating points and boundary results separately. Calculations support design discussions, component documentation checks models, and installed measurements confirm the actual task.
After an abnormality or maintenance, first identify which segment needs recovery
Geometry mismatch, position error or surface residue can affect liquid handling. Check actual results from the affected step before resuming the next action.
Retain current source, container identity, completed actions, valve or interface state and actual receiving information. Use the table to locate the stage that changed before deciding to retry, continue or restart. After recovery, recheck the relevant operating point before returning an uncertain action to the automatic cycle.
