feat: Partial pickup for multiple columns at once.

[J-Burgess]

Overview

Hi, I am trying to get familiar with the new partial tips pickup feature on the Flex as we upgraded to firmware 8.2.0.

From the documentation and my initial attempts, it seems that the expected behaviour is to iterate through columns or rows and there is no direct support for multiple columns at once?

For our purpose we need to aspirate columns 1-6 on a drug plate and disperse onto a sample plates columns 1-6. Secondly, a pickup of the same 1-6 on the drug plate and then dispersion onto columns 7-12 of the same sample plate. Iterating through these columns would be extremely slow and we have many plates to process a day thus a feature to perform multi column partial pickup with the 96 well head would be great thanks!

Cheers,
James
