5.1
Maintenance of the Injector System
Some assays require the injection of reagent prior or during measure-
ment. For good operation, the injector lines have to be maintained
regularly and must be primed previously and washed after use.
•
Berthold Technology recommends strongly to perform the priming
with deionized water first and leaving the lines filled with deionized
water before priming with reagents, to avoid reagent aerosol
splashes at the injectors tips and thus contamination of the instru-
ment.
•
Check the tubing connections regularly for leaks. Faulty tubing con-
nections must be replaced. Call an authorized service center!
Priming and washing are software controlled. All functions are located in
the
[Instrument]
menu.
5.1.1
Priming the tubing
See also chapter 5.1. of the Safety Manual.
Injection lines have to be primed (filled) prior to measurements which
require the use of injectors for reagent addition.
To prime the injectors proceed as follows:
1.
Connect the injector tubing to be primed to the reagent container.
2.
Select
[Instrument] / [Prime]
to open the
[Injector Prime Sequence]
