QuantStudio
Action
IMPORTANT! Condensation may
not be visible on the chip.
• If condensation is not visible – If
possible, read the chip again
after it has warmed to room
temperature. Once equilibrated,
the data quality, flag, and
separation of amplified versus
non-amplified peaks should
improve noticeably.
• If condensation is visible – Using
a low-lint wipe, remove any
condensation or Immersion Fluid
from the surface of the chip by
wiping in one direction. If
needed, use a low-lint wipe
sprayed with isopropanol to
remove any dried residue.
Before pressing the loading button,
confirm that the loading blade is firmly
seated and flush against the loader
arm.
