If Install Cartridge was selected in step 10, use the Install Gel Cartridge
dialog box (Figure 211) to enter the following information:
a. If you are installing a new gel cartridge, click the Set to New button, select
the part number from the drop-down menu, enter the lot number, and then click
OK. The system will automatically update the date and time installed and set
the Hours on Instrument to “0.”
b. If you are installing the previous gel cartridge, do not change the lot number, or
the hours on the instrument, as they will be correct.
c. If you are installing a previously used gel cartridge, but it was not the last one
on the instrument, enter its part number and/or lot number, and adjust the hours
to properly reflect the hours this cartridge has been on the instrument.
d. Click Done in the Install Gel Cartridge dialog.
Always note the lot number and the hours on the instrument for a gel
cartridge if you are planning to use it for more than one session.
The lot number is an alphanumeric text box for your own
identification purposes.
If the gel cartridge has been on the instrument for more than 72 hours,
it is likely that the gel will produce undesirable results.
