Frequently Asked Questions
Q&As
Q11: What if the magnetic particles are attached to the tip combs after the
run?
A11: This happens sometimes but it will not affect the yield because the
sample has been released from the particles.
Q12: Are the volumes of reagents in each well critical?
A12: It is strongly recommended that you keep the specified volumes
within the defined limits to avoid spillover in the performance of the
chemical reactions and the processor and to keep the best performance
at the most efficient level.
Q13: Is it always compulsory to use the transport locks?
A13: The transport locks are only necessary when relocating the
instrument.
Q14: What should you do if the tip loading does not succeed?
A14: Try first to manually stretch the tips both lengthwise and width
wise to level the tip comb.
