Priming the Chip Before the Run
If a new chip that is not a Protein Clear HR chip has been inserted
into the instrument, the chip is automatically primed at the start of
the first run.
Since priming is a lengthy process, the chip priming can be started
before starting the run. (To save time, the sample plate can be
prepared while the chip is priming.)
To prime a chip before starting the run:
1 Insert the chip (see page 25).
2 Load the buffer tube (see page 31). If running a test ladder, load
the ladder tube at the same time.
3 Touch the Home button on the Navigation Bar.
4 Touch the Prime button on the Home Window. The Prime
Window opens.
5 On the Prime Window, select the assay for which to prime the
chip on the Assay drop-down list. (To select the location of the
assay file, touch the Change Assay Folder button and select
the assay folder on the Change Assay Folder Window.)
6 If desired, select the Run Test Ladder after Prime check box to
run one ladder after the prime is complete.
7 Touch the Prime button. The Prime Window displays the time
left until the prime is complete.
