Solution #2: Residual Test Solution
•
Mix 100 mL of Solution #1 with 0.0500 grams of FD&C #1 blue dye,
or
•
Mix 10 mL of BioTek Solution #2 10X Concentrate Blue Test Dye
(PN 7773001) with 90 mL of Solution #1 prepared above
Solution #3: Dispense Precision Solution
•
Mix 590 mL of deionized water with 10 mL of either Solution #2 prepared
above.
Solution #1, PN 7773002
contains 10% Tween
®
20 in deionized water and
0.01% Sodium Azide as a preservative.
Solution #2, PN 7773001
contains
5 g per liter of FD&C Blue #1, 0.1% Tween 20 in deionized water, and 0.01%
Sodium Azide as a preservative.
Using
pure deionized water
in place of Solution #1 is not recommended
and will likely result in the failure of the washer to meet specifications.
Prepare the solutions a few hours before running the tests to let the foam
created by mixing the Tween solution to settle.
You may use
your own buffer solution
in place of Solution #1. However, if
any tests fail retry the tests using the specified solutions.
Important:
BioTek determined the pass/fail specifications for the tests
using the specified test solutions.
Liquid Test Worksheets
for recording results are provided at the end
of this chapter. If your tests are failing, this information will be useful for
BioTek TAC to help diagnose any problems.
Liquid Test Protocols: Default Parameters
Note: For washers with Buffer Switching the predefined protocols are set to
use Buffer “A.” If you would prefer to use a different buffer, create your own test
protocols using these parameters.
