Seal the array card(s):
a.
With the carriage (roller
assembly) of the TaqMan
®
Array
Card Sealer in the Start position,
place a lled array card into the
xture with the foil side up so that
the ll reservoirs are the farthest
away from the carriage.
b.
Press down on all four corners of
the array card to ensure that it is
fully seated within the xture.
c.
Use the two alignment pins in the
xture to position the array card
correctly.
d.
Seal the array card by running the
carriage slowly over it. Run the
carriage over the array card in one
direction only. Do not apply
downward force on the carriage
as you move it forward over the
card.
e.
Remove the sealed array card
from the xture and trim the ll
reservoirs from the array card
assembly using scissors. Trim the
foil array card so that the edge is
even with the plastic carrier.
IMPORTANT! Completely
remov
e the ll reservoirs from the
array card so that the edge is free
of residual plastic. The plastic
from the ll reservoirs that
extends beyond the edge of the
card can prevent the array card
from seating properly on the
sample block and can aect
amplication.
