Prime the MicroFlo
Prime the MicroFlo to remove air bubbles from the tubing prior to dispensing fluid,
especially when the dispenser has been idle for more than 20 minutes between runs.

Softkeys
Press and hold the Prime key to flush the tubing. Fluid flows into the prime trough
for as long as you press the key.
For top efficiency, Purge the fluid at the end of run, and Prime the
tubing before the run.
Pre-Prime
Pre-priming before a dispense run to condition the tips is a standard operating
procedure. MicroFlo’s Quick Dispense programs include 2 pre-prime cycles before
each run. You cannot change the prime settings of the Quick Dispenses. But,
MicroFlo’s Protocols let you define the pre-priming volume and number of cycles.
