  • [NT8- RM Integration] [Checklist] The undisplayed well solution source options in the Checklist tab after registering a new experiment barcode in plate station with a registered experiment.

  • [UI] [Task List] An incorrect display of the volume bars in the Deep Well Levels Setup dialog box for an actually empty deep well.

  • [Task List] The undisplayed error message for a repeated task requiring more total solution volume than available volume in the deep well.

  • [Error] A system crash caused by disconnected software-RGB connection.

  • [Sensor] The failure to execute tasks with a Door Sensor disabled from the configuration file.

  • [NT8-RM Integration] [Checklist] The protein source getting reset to the LV protein block after editing a dispense protocol.

  • [NT8-RM Integration] [Dispense Protocol] The Well Then Protein LCP dispense protocol set in ROCK MAKER being recognized as Protein Then Well in NT8.

  • [NT8-RM Integration] [Checklist] The undisplayed unassigned plate type error in a plate station after moving an assigned source plate previously occupying the same plate with an unassigned well solution.

  • [Task List] [Plate Copy] A warning message about remaining dispense volume displayed instead of an error notifying the remaining volume exceeding the maximum HV tip capacity.

  • [Task List] [Plate Copy] Task execution despite the remaining aspirate volume exceeding the maximum HV tip capacity.

  • [UI] [Task List] [Plate Copy] The reduced solution level indicator in Deep Well Levels Setup after dispensing into a full deep well.

  • [Installer] Software installation blocked by Windows SmartScreen due to unsigned DLLs.

  • [RMI] The incorrect required tip count (0 minus the actual remaining tips) displayed on the first insufficient tip error dialog box for Change Tips set to After Every Dispense.

  • [RMI] The displayed required tips for a previously registered experiment instead of the ones for the currently registered experiment in the insufficient tip error dialog box.

  • [Task List] The remaining selected multiple columns after moving an aspirate or dispense task outside a Repeat block.

  • [RMI] [Dispense Protocol] The malfunctioning I Want to Start Over feature.

  • [Task List] [Plate Copy] The Z-height calculated based on the remaining volume in Column 1 for an aspirate task starting from a column other than 1 with disabled liquid sensing.

  • [RMI] [Checklist] The displayed HV protein source option only after removing an experiment using HV protein source in a multiple experiment registration.

  • [Task List] [Plate Copy] The use of the default liquid class (Normal) instead of the individually assigned liquid class during a deep-well aspiration task.

Version 4.14 BETA

Build Date: June 26, 2026

  • [Task List] A feature to aspirate from an experiment plate and dispense to a deep well using high volume (HV) tips.

  • [Task List] A warning message recommending the use of low volume (LV) protein blocks for required protein volumes below 3000 nL.

Changed:

  • [UI] The term View to Mode in the NT8 software and webhelp.
