Load the slides into the slide holder
1. Remove clean slide holder from the instrument and open the slide slot clamps. Inspect the
holder to ensure there is no residue from a previous run. Manually move the spring clamp to
ensure that it moves freely and is not blocked by debris. Use a lint-free wipe and dH
the slide holder, if needed. See
guidelines.
IMPORTANT:
under the gasket of the slide clamp. Avoid using slides with colored or blank labels, which may
not be detected by the imaging system. Add a dark mark to the slide label area using a
permanent lab pen to improve slide detection if needed.
2. Load slides (through step 5) one at a time to minimize exposure to air. Inspect your slide for
debris and residue.
Clean the bottom of your slide with a lint-free wipe and 70% ethanol.
