76 BioPAT
®
Trace | Multi Trace Operating Instructions
Operation
Every time the device restarts, completely fill the
tubing set and run several preliminary measure-
ments to render the sensor system stable before
initiating the calibration routine. This process is
called priming; alongside filling and preliminary
measurements, it also includes an initial calibra-
tion of the system. After priming, the device
switches to “In standby” mode. Depending on
the measuring method selected, the entire pro-
cess takes between 40 and 60 minutes.
t Before you start up your system with
autostart, make sure that the tubing set is
properly connected to the sampling outlet on
the bioreactor.
Another option is to configure the BioPAT
®
Trace| Multi Trace to start with the measure-
ments independently after the priming routine. If
a check mark is placed next to “Start autom.”, the
device will automatically initiate the measure-
ment after performing the initial calibration
routine.
If the “Fill” button is pressed, the device starts fill-
ing and the “Fill” button disappears.
