This tutorial describes How a complete rack or several vials in a rack can be filled with a user defined amount of solvent (Solvent from dilutor or small amounts from tray). Two procedures are used for these tasks. They are not delivered with the installation, but may be created by the customer: • The first fills the syringe with the total solvent amount. • The second quickly dispenses equal solvent parts into the selected destinations. Tip: Prep-Gilson always requires source and destination positions. In this case only the second procedure needs the selection of destination positions.
