A method for determining reference points in automated pipetting system comprising the steps of defining a coordinate system in the automated pipetting system having two horizontal axes and one vertical axis, generating a map of reference points and their nominal position in the coordinate system, detecting automatically the actual position of the reference points by moving sensors, comparing the detected actual position with the nominal position of the reference points, determining deviations between the actual and nominal position of the reference points and adjusting the position of the reference points within the coordinate system corresponding to detected position deviations. The sensors maybe capacity sensors or force feedback sensors. Ideally, four nominal reference points are defined in the co-ordinate system with a 5mm maximum catch range defined around each nominal reference point. The method allows of the position teaching or calibration of an automated or robotic pipetting system. |
