You can define and adjust the input settings for each of your reagent, such as the input source type, dispense mode, priming volume, pre-dispensing volume, and washing volume, by clicking the Input button on the MANTIS Input Control Panel. Configuring the reagent input settings is useful when you are creating a reagent configuration, or if you want to edit the settings for the reagents you're already using in your dispense list. Follow the instructions below to configure your reagent input.
Note: Make sure to save any changes you make to your reagent input settings, if you want to use the same configuration in the future. For more information, see Creating and Using Reagent Configurations.
On the Input Control Panel, choose one of the options below:
Click the Input button next to each reagent input.

Click the Configure All Input Settings button.
Go to the File menu, point to the Reagent Configuration, and then select Setting.
