Biotek MultiFlo FX - Predefined Sample Protocols

122 | Chapter 3: Operation
Periodic Maintenance
S-Decontaminate Includes prompts for first running disinfectant and later running water
through the system. It can be easily modified to suit any major
cleaning effort. The A or B suffix identifies the syringe the protocol is
designed for.
W-LONG_
SHUTDOWN
Helps implement the recommended procedure for preparing the
instrument for storage. This protocol includes prompts for running
disinfectant, then water, and lastly, air through the system.
S-LONG_
SHUTDOWN
Prepares the instrument for long-term storage. This protocol includes
prompts for running disinfectant, then water, and lastly, air through
the system. Defined to use Syringe A or B.
W-PRIME_40 Simple prime routine.
QC (Quality Control) Protocols
Manifold-Specific
QC_96_DISP_TEST Dispense precision test protocol for 96-well wash manifold.
QC_96_EVAC_TEST Evacuation efficiency test protocol for 96-well wash manifold.
QC_SA-1536_
DISP_TEST
Dispense precision test protocol for 32-tube Syringe A manifold.
QC_SB-1536_
DISP_TEST
Dispense precision test protocol for 32-tube Syringe B manifold.
QC_P-1536_DISP_
TEST
Dispense precision test protocol for Peri-pump 1 µL cassette and
1536-well plate. (P2 protocols are for the secondary Peri-pump)
Predefined Sample Protocols
The "Sample" protocols are provided to facilitate learning. Some samples are model
specific. "P2" protocols are copies of the primary protocol but defined for the
Secondary Peri-pump.
LHC users: You may need to customize the protocols (as described on page 120) to
match your instrument's settings.
Serial dilutions
P-96_
DILUTION
Peri-pump serial dilution protocol dispenses 20 µL to 240 µL in 20 µL
increments to each column of the plate. 20 µL to column 1; 40 µL to
column 2; 60 µL to column 3; and so on till 240 µL to column 12.
