Diagnostic Procedures
In the Miscellaneous section, there is a drop-down list of diagnostic procedures and a Launch button.
The following diagnostic procedures are available:
l Dry Plate
l Move to Well
l Diagnostic Survey
Dry Plate
The Dry Plate procedure vacuums the water film off the bottom of a source plate. During typical protocol runs, the Dry Plate
procedure is automatically executed. During diagnostic operations, Dry Plate is a standalone procedure and must be manually
executed.
If a source plate is not present, the Dry Plate procedure is aborted.
During the Dry Plate procedure, the acoustic coupling nozzle is moved down and out of the way, and the coupling fluid pump is
turned off.
The plate dryer nozzle makes a pass to ensure that all of the moisture is removed, then displays a message when it is done.
