Maintenance of the Electrode Cartridge
RNA Pico or Small RNA Assay
Cleaning the Electrodes before each RNA Pico or Small RNA Assay
To avoid decomposition of the RNA sample, follow this electrode
decontamination procedure on a daily basis before running any RNA Pico or
Small RNA assay.
1 Slowly fill one of the wells of an electrode cleaner with 350 μL RNase-free
water.
2 Open the lid and place electrode cleaner in the 2100 Bioanalyzer
instrument.
3 Close the lid and leave it closed for 5 minutes.
4 Open the lid and remove the electrode cleaner. Label the electrode cleaner
and keep for future use.
5 Wait another 30 seconds for the water on the electrodes to evaporate before
closing the lid.
When Before each RNA Pico or Small RNA run.
Parts required # p/n Description
1 NA Electrode cleaner (required amount included in the kits)
1 NA RNase-free water
To prevent contamination problems, it is strongly recommended to use a dedicated
electrode cartridge for RNA Pico and Small RNA assays.
Leak currents between electrodes
Liquid spill may cause leak currents between the electrodes.
➔ Never fill more than 350 µL of water in the electrode cleaner.
