Purge the MicroFlo
Purging reclaims the fluid in the tubing, reversing its direction, and moving it back to
the supply vessel. In addition to using the Purge to preserve expensive reagent, it's an
effective tool for eliminating air bubbles in the tubing. Alternating between purging and
priming is a good exercise for removing air bubbles.
Purge
Use the Softkey at MicroFlo’s main menu to purge the dispenser:

Using the LHC
You can use BioTek’s Liquid Handling Control™ (LHC) software to purge the
MicroFlo before or after a dispense run by adding a Purge Step to the protocol. Consult
the LHC’s Help to learn more.
Removing air bubbles from the tubing:
When the dispenser has been idle for 20 minutes or more:
1.
Purge the tubing to move fluid in reverse direction.
2.
Prime the tubing to flush fluid through the tubing.
3.
Repeat this pattern until all air bubbles are removed from the tubing.
