Dish Cleaning

This station handles three tubes, one to dispense water, one to dispense acetone, and one to empty the dish content to the waste. This later needs to be dipped into the dish, we use our modular_linear_actuator for that.

Procedure

A petri dish is cleaned using the following protocol:

• empty petri dish of previous experiment's content
• add 4.5mL of acetone into petri dish
• empty petri dish
• add 4.5mL of water into petri dish
• empty petri dish
• add 4.5mL of acetone into petri dish
• empty petri dish
• add 4.5mL of acetone into petri dish
• empty petri dish
