2.5.2 Peristaltic
starter tube sealing control.
Place (Fig. 2, §6.3.1) a vial containing at least 2 mL distilled water in starter
position and place the needle of the starter tube inside the vial.
Run
Prime enzyme
cycle to fill-in the starter tube.
Take both ends of the starter tubing (completely filled-in with water) from the vial
and lift in the air the opposite end to the needle: if the peristaltic starter tube has a
good seal, the level of the water should not move.
If the level of the water inside the starter tube comes back, the tubing must be
replaced.
When the starter tubing is correctly filled in with water, connect the tube end to the
steel capillary on the mixing chamber stopper.
Warning: the connection of the starter tubing to the top of the mixing chamber is a critical step.
It is very important to connect it gently, taking care to the final position of the yellow ring embracing firmly the
silicon of the starter tubing and the steel capillary on top of the mixing chamber.
