2.2 Reagent and Standard Consumption
6202918theory.fm
The rate of reagent use depends on many factors, including the number of
times the instrument cycles, calibration frequency, and the number of clean
cycles.
Table 3
provides the approximate volume (in mL) of the reagents
consumed with each type of function per cycle.
