The run will continue until complete (~14-19 hours depending on the assay).
Step 3 - Post-Run Procedures
When the run is done, you’ll need to:
1. Empty the capillary discard tray.
2. Remove the assay plate.
Capillary and sample plate disposal depends on the samples that were assayed. If you aren’t sure what your
sample origins are, we recommend used capillaries and plates be disposed of in biohazard waste.
!WARNING! SHARPS HAZARD
Capillaries may present a potential sharps hazard. Dispose of used capillaries according to your insti-
tution's sharps disposal policy.
! WARNING! BIOHAZARD
Samples and waste bottle contents should be handled by procedures recommended in
the CDC/NIH manual: Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL).
The manual is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office or online at http://
www.cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/bmbl5/.
Depending on the samples used, waste bottle contents may constitute a biohazard. Use
precaution when emptying the waste bottle. Dispose of waste bottle contents in accor-
dance with good laboratory practices and local, state/provincial, or national environmen-
tal and health regulations. Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) provided
by the manufacturers of the chemicals in the waste vial before you store, handle, or dis-
pose of chemical waste.
