Preparing the Instrument to Run
Samples
This section includes general instructions for preparing the LabChip
GX Touch instrument to run samples.
For assay-specific information, see the LabChip GX Touch/GXII
Touch Assay User Guide for the specific assay that you are
preparing to run. For instructions on preparing the chip and plate,
see the LabChip GX Touch/GXII Touch Assay Quick Guide for the
specific assay. The current version of the Assay User Guides and
Quick Guides are available on the PerkinElmer web site at:
www.perkinelmer.com.
To prepare the instrument to run samples:
1 Open the LabChip GX Touch software (see page 24).
2 Clean the electrodes and the O-Rings as directed in the
LabChip GX Touch/GXII Touch Assay User Guide.
3 Purge the pressure lines (see page 24).
4 If necessary, calibrate the optics (see page 139) and run
Diagnostics (see page 152).
5 Prepare the chip for the assay as directed in the LabChip GX
Touch/GXII Touch Assay Quick Guide.
6 Insert the chip into the instrument (see page 25).
7 For Protein Clear HR chips, calibrate the instrument to run
Protein Clear HR Assays (see page 26).
8 If desired, prime chips before the start of a run (not available for
Protein Clear HR chips). See page 27.
9 Prepare the sample plate, ladder, and buffer for the assay as
directed in the LabChip GX Touch/GXII Touch Assay Quick
Guide. If your instrument is equipped with a barcode reader, see
Placing the Barcode on the Plate on page 28 to use barcodes
on the sample plates.
10 If desired, define a new plate type to use a plate other than the
ones listed in the software (see page 29).
11 Load the Sample Plate, Ladder tube, and Buffer tube into the
instrument (see page 31).
