Warning! Be careful, DO NOT twist the tube while reposition it into the head,
because it will cause malfunction in a very short period of time.
8.2.7. Checking condition of lyse tubing
Lyse reagent get the tubing material hard, at connections air can be aspirated to the
system, which decreases volume of lyse reagent. Check the hardness of tubings at
rear panel lyse connection by hand. If you feel the Tygon tubing hard compared by
other tubing, replace them.
8.2.8. Bleaching of Fluidic System
It is recommended to run a bleaching procedure to remove stains from the fluidic
system.
1. Connect 2-5%, hand warm, clean bleach solution to all reagent inputs, and perform
priming on all reagent inputs.
2. Leave it in the tubing for not more than 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove the bleach, prime on air.
4. Connect distilled water (100 ml), and perform priming all reagents, again.
Connect reagents, and run priming again.
