7.1 Startup
Before every startup, check the BioPAT
®
Trace | Multi Trace to make sure that
all modules installed on the device are functional.
The following conditions must be checked scrupulously on the device:
— Are the two original pump cassettes installed properly?
— Is the tubing set connected completely and properly?
— Is the enzyme reactor installed in the methanol | ethanol operating mode?
— Is there a conductivity cell in the holder?
— Are sufficient volumes of transport buffer and the appropriate calibration
solutions ready at hand?
If these checks are passed, you can start the device. In Chapter “8 Operation”,
page 75 describes in detail the operating software functions necessary to
start the device. In principle, the following procedure must be maintained:
t In the “Basic Settings” menu, select the measuring method (see
Chapter “8.3.7.3 Basic Settings”, page 95).
t In the “Parameter” menu, configure the calibration standards and
measuring and calibration frequency you want to use (see Chapter “8.3.7.1
Parameters”, page 90).
t After you have connected all tubing and sampling lines, start the filling
routine (see Chapter “8 Operation”, page 75).
t After priming, the device starts with the measurements automatically (if
the autostart option was activated) or switches to the “In standby” mode.
t If you are working with the dialysis method, you must carry out a reference
measurement at the right time in order to obtain conclusive results.
y Proceed as described in Chapter “8 Operation”, page 75.
