摘要:
A method for measuring the volume of a liquid dispensed inside a container with the aid of a suction/discharge device included in an analysis automaton, said method comprising: positioning said suction/discharge device plumb with said container; triggering the continuous measurement of the values of electrical capacitance between the end of the needle of the suction/discharge device and the assembly consisting of the container, the chassis of the analysis automaton; triggering the dispensing of the liquid into the container with the aid of the suction/discharge device; measuring the period t during which the values of electrical capacitance between the end of the needle of the suction/discharge device and the assembly are greater than a threshold value S; and calculating the volume of liquid dispensed into the container.
