tubing, loose bottle cap, missing filter plate, non-functioning internal vacuum
pump and extremely low vacuum. This sensor is disabled by default.
Plate Detection: washers with Verify™ Technology offer this sensor to detect the
presence of a microplate on the plate carrier before every protocol run. BioStack
users: the sensor checks for the first plate in the stack only.
BioTek recommends keeping the detection systems activated. Exceptions:
l Deactivate the Waste sensor when using BioTek's Direct Drain Waste System.
l When vacuum filtration assays need to be performed at very low vacuum
levels, e.g. no plug, but the washer displays an error, deactivate the sensor:
LHC - "Filter Vacuum" or Touch screen - "Vac Filtr".
l When running the system using air instead of fluid to dry out the components
before shipping or long-term storage, if error messages interrupt the
procedure, deactivate the fluid and flow sensors.
AutoPrime
Recommended for optimum performance, AutoPrime keeps the tubing wet in
between runs and can be an essential part of your daily maintenance routine.
About AutoPrime
AutoPrime automatically primes the tubing whenever the instrument is idle for a
specified time. Keeping the tubes wet prevents clogging and mitigates fluid
evaporation at the tips. AutoPrime's submerge feature lets you soak the tubes for
extended periods, which is an effective maintenance option.
Specify the Interval and AutoPrime Parameters
AutoPrime runs at the Home screen when the instrument has been idle for a
specified interval.
