Starting the Analysis
5 Note required consumables: A second ScreenTape device will be requested
during the run if the first ScreenTape device has insufficient free lanes.
Make sure a second ScreenTape device with sufficient lanes is available. A
time frame of 15 minutes applies once the TapeStation Controller software
prompts for this.
6 Make sure sufficient ladder is present.
7 Start the run.
8 Confirm tip waste is empty. Confirm tube strip lids are removed and
proceed.
9 Presence of components such as tube strip lids, tips, and ScreenTape
devices are checked.
A check for properly inserted nest covers and correct movement of the lower nest cover is
done during the initialization phase prior to a run. In case of stopped runs, refer to
“Assembling Nest Covers” on page 156, “Insertion of the Lower Nest Cover” on page 158
and “Software Messages” on page 167 for further information.
