The priming and warming steps are performed.
• The priming step fills the channels of the chip with reagent.
(Only performed if the chip holder has been opened since
the last run.)
• The warming step allows the heater plate located in the chip
holder to regulate chip temperature to 30°C.
• Data collection begins after the warming and priming steps
are completed.
After the run begins, the Start button on the LabChip GX main
window changes to Stop.
