Good Measurement Practices

ScreenTape Devices

• Protect the gel lanes of the ScreenTape device from excessive force - do not

bend or flex the ScreenTape device. Bent ScreenTape devices can

potentially lead to blockage errors.

• Store the ScreenTape devices in the provided packaging between 2 – 8 °C.

ScreenTape devices that are stored in the back of a fridge or in contact with

the wall may also be subject to freezing.

• ScreenTape devices can be used straight from the fridge with no

equilibration time.

• Handle ScreenTape devices carefully to avoid fingerprints or fibers, which

can affect imaging.

Pay special attention to not damage the backside of the ScreenTape device.

• Ensure that the ScreenTape device is flicked before inserting it into the

instrument. If there are any small bubbles present at the gel/buffer

interface, flicking the ScreenTape device will move them to the top of the

chamber.

NOTE

Failure to remove air bubbles at the gel/buffer interface might significantly affect results.
