3. ClicktheDispensebutton.Thedesignatedvolumeofisopropylalcohol
should move through the tubing and into the receiver bottle, removing
any air bubbles and priming the system. If it does, the pump is primed
and ready for use.
NOTE: If a buffer will be used, flush all the isopropyl alcohol out of
the lines by placing the inlet tube in a vessel of water, changing the
xedvolumeto2000µL,andclickingtheDispensebutton.
4. If the pump doesn’t seem to draw any isopropyl alcohol into the tubing:
(a) Check for leaks around the fittings and make sure the tubing is well
seated in the pump head.
(b) Make sure the end of the tubing is free to draw liquid into the pump.
(TIP:Cutthetipendthatgoesintotheisopropyl
