4. Press and hold the PRIME key until a continuous
fl ow moves through all the channel tubes. See page
38 for instructions on programming a timed prime.
Note: Prime new tube sets for 1 to 2 minutes with water
before using them for dispensing. This initial priming
helps to break in the new tube set and stretch out the
tubes where they contact the roller head.

You can construct and save up to 18 programs (9 for 6- to
96-well plates and 9 for 384-well plates) that allow you to

• Select a plate type (96 or 384).

• Select columns (wells) to be fi lled in the dispense
operation.
• Load the program into memory and save it.
