— to an available ethernet wall jack. In order for the BioXp system to communicate with the Codex DNA server, you must open the 80/443 ports through your network. In addition, the BioXp system will be making an outbound SSL connection (HTTPS/SSL) to logmein.com, codexdna.com and drive.google.com.
Configure the BioXp 9600 system Press the Configuration gear icon in the lower left corner 2. Press Network Test the network connection 3. Press Test connection If the system displays Network connection working normally, the BioXp system is ready for use. If you are ready to load the instrument and begin a run, refer to the loading map included with your kit components.

Initiating a BioXp run Once the deck and tip drawer is loaded, confirm that all components are securely seated. 2. Close the door and tip drawer. 3. Ensure there is a suitable waste container positioned in front of the waste chute. 4.
Cancelling a job during a run IMPORTANT! You will not be able to reuse reagents if you cancel a job after the run has initiated and the reagent plate seal has been broken. Do not cancel a run unless absolutely necessary. If you need to cancel a job during a run, press the ‘X’...
Troubleshooting BioXp™ deck inspection error After you load the deck and close the instrument door and start the run, the instrument performs a deck inspection, checking the location and orientation of the recovery plate, ethanol reservoir, reagent strip handles, reagent strips, tips, and system robotics.
In the event of spillage of a hazardous material, the BioXp system user is responsible for decontamination of the hazardous material on or inside the instrument. Before using a cleaning or decontamination method other than a recommended cleaner, contact Codex DNA to verify that the proposed decontamination method will not damage the equipment.
The instrument will perform a self check each day. A log of the self check is stored on the system and may be used by Codex DNA service technicians should any issue arise. Keeping the BioXp system connected to the internet ensures optimal use and analysis of the calibration log.
Loading and setup Loading Proper loading of the BioXp system begins with gathering the provided the materials received in your reagent kit. To start, open the hood and examine the interior of the BioXp system – make sure any materials or waste plates from a prior run have been removed before you begin loading the new consumables and reagents into the BioXp system.

Press the framestrip into the holder and verify the location of the positioning pin and corresponding hole. The clamp assembly of the framestrip holder snaps into place to retain the framestrip. After installing all the framestrips necessary for your protocol – gently close the clamp assembles to retain the framestrips. Due to the low volume of reagent in the frame strips, this must be done carefully, without disrupting reagents pooled in the bottom of the tubes.

Installing Mega Strip Holder and Mega Strips (location 8) If your protocol requires Mega Strips for reagent delivery these are installed into the Mega Strip Holder which is a removable component and can be placed (along with the mega strips) into a centrifuge for preparation – then placed into the mounting system permanently installed on the deck of the BioXp system.

Installing Reaction Plates into the Input Plate Stacks (location 10 and 11) If your protocol requires reaction plates to be installed into the two input plate stack holders these are keyed in the top left corner and are color coded. The loading instructions for the protocol will identify the reaction plates for the job, you should install these based on the color of the carrier into one of the two plate stack holders.

Installing tips into the Tip drawer (location 19) If the protocol requires tips to be loaded into the drawer you may need to press the unlatch drawer button in the user interface to cause the drawer to open. Pull the drawer out completely to more easily install the tip trays into the loading bars. NOTE: the tip trays are installed in a portrait orientation with the notch at the top right corner now.
Using the BioXp Plate Extractor A specialized tool has been created to help remove the 96 well semi skirted PCR plate from the carriers used by the BioXp system. To use the plate extractor tool a reaction plate assembly is inserted into the retaining fingers on the left side of the extraction tool and pressed into the guidance ring.
