After the run is complete, open the instrument door and check that all Plungers were ejected from the Magnetic Rod

Assembly. If a Plunger is still attached, push it down gently by hand to remove it. Select the Run/Stop button to extend

the platform.

For SEV protocols: Remove Elution Tubes to the Magnetic Elution Tube Rack (for SEV protocols) to capture any

residual particles to the side of the Elution Tubes.

For LEV protocols: Remove the LEV deck from the platform. If desired, the LEV deck can be placed on a LEV Elution

Magnet (available separately, Cat. No. AS1261) to capture any residual particles to the side of the Elution Tubes.

The eluted sample then can be transferred to a fresh tube for storage.

Important. To avoid particle transfer after SEV runs, use a pipette tip to aspirate samples from the captured

particles on the side of the blue elution tube.

5.D. Post-Run UV Light Treatment

If you have configured your instrument to perform a UV light treatment at the end of each run, that treatment will start

when the door is closed. Ensure that samples are removed before closing the door and starting the UV light treatment

to avoid damage to the nucleic acid. You can cancel the UV treatment at any time.

If the instrument is configured for the Maxwell
