6.
Place the filter tips into the two rows
with the smaller drill holes. Place the
elution vessels into the wider drill
hole at the edge of the tip block.
Empty sample positions do not need
to be filled. Especially with the strips,
make sure for every strip that the tips
and the elution vessel are in the cor-
responding positions in the tip block
(arrows in figure on the left)!
Caution
The selection of elution vessel de-
pends on elution volume!
7.
Open all cavities of positions 1 and 3 on the strips and plates by piercing the film with
an unused filter tip and widening it or using the optionally available Piercing tool(see
item 8). For the strips, position 1 is at the tab labeled "AJ". On the plates the position
numbers are attached on the side.
ATTENTION!
Open the cavities fully (at least 7 mm in diameter)! The used filter tips are
ejected into these cavities during the extraction protocol. If the cavities are
closed or insufficiently opened, the tips may be thrown out of the cavities after ejec-
tion due to the travel movements. This may result in errors during the extraction pro-
cess and in adverse cases even a cancellation of the protocol.
8.
When using the piercing tool, place it
onto the edges of the rear holding-
down clamp with the four long bolts
sitting against the edges. Then press
the tool down until the stop to make
the tips pierce through the sealing
film and create large openings. The
use of the tool is identical for reagent
plates and strips.
9.
Continue preparing the reagent strips and plates in accordance with the kit descrip-
tions.
10. Switch on the InnuPure C16 and wait for device initialization to be completed, which
is signaled by a beeping sound.
