For each dilution in the series:
Vt = Vs x Rd, Vd = Vt - Vs
For example, after selecting Dilution Ratio Mode, you
enter Sample Volume = 10 and Dilution Ratio = 3;
the software calculates the Total Volume as 30 and
the required Diluent Volume as 20.
1. When diluent comes from the reservoir (RESV);
aspirate the required volume of diluent (for all
dilutions, up to the capacity of the left-hand
syringe). If diluent comes from the probe, an air
gap is aspirated before the diluent, and the
required volume of diluent is aspirated (for all
dilutions, up to the capacity of the right-hand
syringe, after which the left-hand syringe is used).
2. Aspirate an air gap (specified in configuration).
3. Aspirate sample.
4. Dispense all into the recipient vessel.
