Task
Remove bubbles from the fluid pathway. This
function is automatically performed during other
wizards as needed.
IMPORTANT! Running this wizard consumes
polymer. Do not run this wizard unless bubbles
are observed in the fluid pathway.
Prime the polymer pump with conditioning
reagent, then polymer. This function is
automatically performed during other wizards as
needed.
Run this wizard if you observe that polymer has
dried in the polymer block or if you suspect
contamination in the pump block.
Shut down the instrument for a storage period
>2 weeks. This wizard instructs you to remove
the capillary array and polymer, and to install
conditioning reagent.
Reactivate the instrument after storage. This
wizard assumes that the Shut down instrument
wizard was run before storage, that the pump
and channels are filled with conditioning reagent,
and that no capillary array is installed.
Fill the capillary array with polymer. This function
is automatically performed during other wizards
as needed.
This wizard performs the same procedure as a
manual spatial calibration described in "Run a
