Verify Performance| 35
Frequency:
5 Minutes: Gain complete confidence that your plates will be processed correctly by
spending five minutes to run the Verify test before running your assay!
Develop a schedule for running the Verify routine based on the type of wash buffer
you are using, how frequently you use the washer, and your maintenance habits:
l Daily: When using PBS, protein, and other fluids that easily crystallize and
harden, potentially clogging the tubes, run the Verify routine every day and/or
after prolonged downtimes to ensure the tubes are not clogged.
l Weekly: When using TRIS and other low-salt buffers and when adhering to the
recommended maintenance schedule, you can confidently run the Verify routine
less frequently, e.g. before new assay runs.
Replace the Verify Test Plate (according to the prescribed procedure) if it is
damaged, scratched, warped, etc.
