Standard Vacuum Pump Users
n Do not perform this step when using the High Flow vacuum pump (PN
7100754). High flow pumps are recommended when aspirating 384-well plates
with non-surfactant wash buffers (e.g., pure deionized or distilled water).
Perform this step ONLY if you are using the “standard” vacuum pump (PN
7103024): increase the Vacuum Dissipate Delay to match your waste container: 1
second per liter. For example, if you have a 10 L waste bottle, set the delay to
10 seconds.
