MM4 Simple Method Example
A simple method transfer of the same volume. 200 µL from a 96 well source plate to the first quadrant of a 384 well plate with tip pick up and eject
-
Step 1: Choose tip size and deck location
Load Tip Command: first choose the size and type of tip you will use for the volume required. Tips range in size as 10, 50, 200, 300, 1000 & 1250 µL.
-
Step 2: Aspiration
Aspirate Command: choose the type of plate you wish to access. Here a 96 well plate is shown where the 96 VVP head will access all the wells at once and remove the same 200 µL from each well.
-
Step 3: Dispense
Dispense Command: choose the destination plate type and its location on the deck. This location and plate may also be a variable if this step is within a larger process.
-
Step 4: Eject Tips
Eject Tip Command: eject the tips either back into the enclosed tip box from which they came or eject the tips over a waste shoot to run off the side of the liquid handler or through the deck itself.
Method Manager Integrated VVP Example Applications
Below are some of the most requested questions concerning Method Manager and how it handles certain applications. With the implementation of the VVP tools, new and novel applications are now available. Applications like; Whole Plate Normalization, Whole Blood Sample and Plant/Seed Homogenate Transfers with clog/clog individual well diagnostics and on-the-fly correction, whole plate pooling with all 96 tips, selective high throughput hit picking are all now possible.
A typical example of the Method Manager GUI, graphical user interface, using our Lynx LM900 30 position deck with a 96 VVP Pipetting Tool. Many questions arise of how each of the 96 channels gets individual volume information in and out of the software to take full advantage of the VVP technology.
Within the Aspirate Command, you first choose the location of the plate from which you would like to remove the liquid. You may decide to name your plates within your deck, example Source 1 or Purified DNA Source, or you also may choose to name the name a variable if a robotic gripper will continually moving source plate in and out of this position in a fully automated method. A variable will allow the plate to have different volumes associated with every well and can be linked to the bar code of the plate through a database or lookup table.
Typical DNA normalization file format used to dilute purified DNA to a standard concentration based on µg/µL.
Method Manager loads up this file and dilutes the sample plate in one shot, the process including tip pickup, aspiration, dispense and eject tips is about 45 seconds. Higher throughput methods will actually have the 96VVP pick up 1250 µL tips, aspirate the full volume of water in to the tip and then multi dispense over multiple plates until the first tip empties.
Transferring challenging samples tests the real limit of a liquid handlers ability to rapidly and accurately react to a situation that would adversely affect the samples ability to enter the tip. Samples like whole blood and plant/seed homogenizes are some of the most variable sample matrix’s to aspirate up into a tip. VVP pipetting tools, the 96VVP and Fixed-8 VVP, allows the user to just click to turn on clot/clog diagnostics.
Since VVP is a closed loop real time measurement of the liquid entering the tip, the system can analyze the flow rate at which the sample is entering the tips and if there is any drop off of this rate over a set limit, the VVP shuts off vacuum to ONLY that individual tip. Since this is live, a clogged tip on the first try is actually visualized in the real time reporting screen.
As shown above, a clot is detected. However, the rest of the channels will continue to aspirate until complete and then the system will re-try the erred well. In this case, the head will rise out of the liquid (note: all the tips are attached to the same drive so all move up and down together, no independent Z drive) the erred sample channel will clear itself leaving the correctly aspirated channels as they are, and then re-dip the tips into the plate and re-try the erred channel as many times as programmed. Method Manager will even alter where each re-try takes place according the well definition as to not have the tip on top of the found clot material.

Lynx – The Ultimate Partner in Automation
Lynx leverages advanced enabling technologies to enhance liquid handling automation, delivering superior performance, robustness, and data integrity for your automated workflows.
VVP Technology
Award-winning Volume Verified Pipetting (VVP) technology represents the very latest in air-based 8, 24 & 96 multi-channel pipetting.

- More robust workflows with advanced user-defined recovery for ‘on-the-fly’ corrections
- Final validation data report captures all pipetting data
How VVP Works
VVP air-based pipetting tools perform all aspirate and dispense functions via precise control of vacuum and positive pressure, respectively.
A silicon chip-based MEMS micro-sensor assembly incorporated into each liquid channel measures the pressure differential across a known constriction. Volumetric flow rate is a linear function of this pressure differential, allowing for instantaneous calculation of the actual volume of liquid entering or leaving each tip.
By monitoring and adjusting to volumetric flow in real-time, all pipetting processes can be controlled and finely tuned for any liquid, automatically accommodating for temperature and viscosity differences.
Liquid Level Detection (LLD) with VVP
Independent-channel LLD on all liquid types is performed via controlled micro-releases of air from the distal end of the tip and subsequent monitoring of pressure changes associated with meniscus (or bubble/foam) interference. A residual volume based on the confirmed meniscus height and labware definition is calculated. Any pipetting discrepancies experienced are addressed via several user-defined error recovery options.
Air-based VVP technology accomplishes robust LLD without the need for more expensive carbon-impregnated (capacitance-based LLD) disposable tips. For the best pipetting results, be sure to use D2-brand ‘performance-certified’ clear disposable tips.
Pipetting Diagnostics with VVP
VVP performs continuous millisecond analysis of flow rates for each liquid channel. A disruption in the expected average flow rate, produced either by air entering the channel (i.e. ‘short or no sample’) or a blockage (i.e. clot/clog) triggers an alert.
Diagnosed pipetting errors are addressed automatically ‘on-the-fly’ via user-defined error recovery options.
Independent control of each channel affords the freedom to isolate and disable only the offending channel(s), allowing the method to continue without interruption.
Upon method completion, a final Error Report file is generated.
Advanced Clot/Clog Detection & Correction
Characteristics of the sample matrix are used to set specific flow rate measurement thresholds, allowing optimal detection and recovery from blockages such as clots or clogs. Upon detection, affected channel(s) are disabled and remaining tips finish aspirating. Upon completion, the VVP head is raised, affected tip(s) cleared and an ‘intra-well re-aspiration’ is performed.
Short Sample/No Sample Detection & Correction
Flow rate changes caused by introduction of air into the sample column during aspiration are used to diagnose a ‘short sample’ or ‘no sample’ specimen. Recovery options include skip the sample, re-aspirate, sample blow-back, or dispense and report the actual volume transferred.

Lynx Platform
Lynx incorporates a series of enabling technologies for robust performance and reduced maintenance.
Absolute positioning with Linear Magnetic Motors and Encoders
Linear motors and encoders offer enhanced positional accuracy, precision, and repeatability compared to traditional mechanical rota-tion-to-translation mechanisms like racks & pinions or belts & pulleys typically used in laboratory liquid handling instruments. Moreover, they contribute to higher speeds, decreased maintenance requirements, and improved performance in pipetting tools.
Low Maintenance Solid Mandrel Tip Loading
The Solid Mandrel (SM) tip adapters, designed for loading disposable pipette tips, have eliminated the necessity of maintaining high-maintenance components such as rubber O-rings and tip seals. By adopting SM tip loading, the requirement for a 3 or 6-month preventive maintenance service is avoided, as it excludes the most maintenance intensive component on the robot.

Lynx Certified Disposable Tips
Clear Tips
Lynx uses high-quality CLEAR disposable tips for all pipetting and liquid level detection, eliminating the need for expensive black polycarbonate tips. VVP flow sensor technology allows for robust LLD in both tubes and plates and can accommodate compromised samples containing clots, bubbles or foam. Several sizes and filtered/unfiltered versions are available
Standard Boxes
All Lynx-brand tips are housed in ANSI-standard containers, allowing for placement anywhere on the deck. Tip pick-up directly from sturdy tip boxes eliminates the need for dedicated racks or tip loaders.
