About performing mock runs
What is a mock run?
A mock run uses empty or water-filled labware. A mock run allows you to
troubleshoot a protocol or a component of the system without wasting valuable
reagents and samples. You should always perform a mock run to check a new
protocol.
Correcting teachpoint errors
After setting the teachpoints, be sure to perform a dry run as a final check for any
teachpoint errors.
Preparing for a dry run
You prepare for a mock run the same way you would prepare for a real protocol run,
except that you use empty labware for a totally dry run or labware containing water
for a wet run.
See “Planning for the protocol run” on page 57.
