Place the instrument on a magnetic stirrer. Fill transfer buffer to the START FILL LEVEL line. This requires approxi- mately 3.8 L. Set the stirrer to low-medium. This creates buffer circulation without forcing buffer through the assembled cassettes. TE62 Standard Transfer Tank Operating Instructions 29281927 AB...
Excess materials may result in cassette damage. NOTICE Take great care in removing all air bubbles at each step because the presence of air bubbles, especially between the membrane and gel, blocks transfer. TE62 Standard Transfer Tank Operating Instructions 29281927 AB...
