Running a Protocol

6.3.1

Before running a protocol

Before running a protocol, check the following:
Reagent bottle levels—ensure each bottle contains enough reagent for the protocol. You can see the required
l
reagent volume on the Protocol Dashboard. If you need to refill a Reagent Bottle, see
System and the ThermoBrite® Elite ancillaries document.
Reagent bottle filter position—make sure the bottle filter is closest to the bottom-most edge for each respective
l
bottle.
Waste bottle volume—ensure waste bottles have enough space to hold the waste from the protocol run. You can
l
see the waste volume that will be created by the run on the Confirm Reagent and Waste Setup. If any of them are
full, empty the Waste Bottles. See
Peristaltic pump condition—check that the tubes are not crimped. If they are, first try massaging the tubes to get
l
them back into shape. If that does not work, replace the tubes. See
Do NOT move the instrument while a run is in progress.
