Venus – Programming Levels
Two levels of programming within Venus Graphically based tools to quickly create simple methods
• Deck Editor• Action Editor• SMART steps
Full access to range of features to build methods that include• Custom user interfaces• Worklists for sample information• Control of Hamilton or 3rd party devices i.e. plate readers• Sample tracking using barcodes

Venus – Graphical Programming
Deck Editor
More Details
• Tool for creating a deck layout
• A deck layout is required for each method so venus knows where to pipette or move plates Either modify an existing layout or create a new one Venus comes with set of labware installed including carriers and plates

Venus – Graphical Programming
Action Editor• Tool for method planning• Drag action from Toolbox to between Start and End blocks to create
assay workflow• Insert step into an action to perform pipetting or plate movement

Venus – Graphical Programming
SMART steps• Wizards to guide you through setting
up a pipetting process• Simple (1-1) – transfer from one
source well to one destination well• Replica (1-n) - transfer from one
source well to multiple destination wells
• Pooling (n-1) - transfer from multiple source wells to one destination well
• Aliquot – multidispensing from single aspirate
• Simple (1-1) – transfer from one source well to one destination well
• Replica (1-n) - transfer from one source well to multiple destination wells
• Pooling (n-1) - transfer from multiple source wells to one destination well
• Aliquot – multidispensing from single aspirate
