The FLO i8 system allows you to add a User Confirmation step between the pipetting steps in a protocol. The User Confirmation pauses the protocol execution until you give confirmation to proceed. These actions are useful in cases where you want to perform another task outside the FLO i8 system for the stocks and/or labware. For instance, if you want to adjust the labware or stock temperature to a certain degree for a short period of time. The protocol will proceed once you have put the labware back into the FLO i8 deck and given confirmation.
