Assignee: BECKMAN COULTER, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  C | IPC C  G

Claim 1:
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one reference line comprises a first reference line and a second reference line formed on the dispense tip;
wherein the system is configured to, in response to determining the misalignment, prevent the sample pipetting device from aspirating the fluidic substance into the dispense tip;
wherein the misalignment of the dispense tip includes a side misalignment and a depth misalignment;
wherein the sample pipetting device is configured to aspirate a liquid into a further dispense tip;
wherein the system is configured to determine a volume of the aspirated liquid;
wherein the image capture unit is configured to capture a further image of the further dispense tip;
wherein the computing device is configured to determine a pixel distance between a reference point in the image associated with the further dispense tip and is configured to correlate the determined volume with the determined pixel distance and to generate correlation data based on the determined volume and the determined pixel distance;
wherein the correlation data are generated based on a plurality of correlations between a plurality of determined pixel distances and a plurality of determined volumes of liquid aspirated into the further dispense tip;
wherein the aspirated liquid comprises a dye solution;
wherein the system is configured to determine the volume of the aspirated liquid based on spectrophotometry; and/or
wherein the system is configured to determine a mass of the aspirated liquid and to determine the volume of the aspirated liquid based on the determined mass of the aspirated liquid.
