Installing the device The device can be installed only by the technical support. T o e n s u re t h a t t h e p e r fo r m a n ce o f t h e d e v i ce m e e t s t h e specifications, the technical support will perform a standard loading before customer training and use.
Powering off the device Perform the following steps: , click Yes in the dialog box, and wait to exit the software. 1. Click 2. Click Start > Power > Shutdown to turn off the computer. 3. Turn the power switch of the device to the position.
Workflow Log in to the control software Initialize the device Prepare for a workflow Start a workflow Post-process Samples in the sample tubes might cause cross contamination through contact with the skin, eyes, and mucosa. Follow the safety standards of your laboratory and wear protective equipment (such as laboratory coat, and disposable bouffant cap, protective glasses, mask, gloves, and shoe covers).
Initializing the device Perform the following steps: 1. Close the door. 2. In the main interface, click Boot. The device starts initializing. After a successful initialization, a prompt is displayed. Preparing for a workflow Installing consumables Perform the following steps: 1.
3. Set the parameters about the workflow, select the input and output positions, and select the quantity of the tips. Starting a workflow z Ensure that the door is closed before starting the experiment. Or follow the on-screen prompt to close the door. z Do not violently open the door during experiment, to avoid accidental skin contact with the sample on the tip of the moving pipette.
Processing consumables Perform the following steps: 1. Click New Run to clear the data of the current process and create a new process. 2. Affix the sealing film on the deep-well plate and take it out for the next experiment. If not used temporarily, the deep-well plate can be stored in a refrigerator at 4 ℃...
