Working with Liquid Classes

An ingredient’s liquid class notifies the liquid-handling robot exactly how the ingredient should be dispensed. Each stock of an ingredient can have its own liquid class.

When you define a liquid class in ROCK MAKER, you must specify the maximum amount that should be dispensed at once. Additional parameters associated with the liquid class are stored on the liquid-handling robot.
