Details about Peri-pump AutoPrime
Important
: Remove the Peri-pump cassette when the Syringe dispenser is set to
"Submerge."
"Submerge" is not offered for the Peri-pump because it is not a good practice for
the dispense cassettes. However, because the cassette Tip Holder resides on the
same dispense arm as the Syringe dispenser manifold, it will be moved into the
submerge position when the Syringe tips are submerged. Either remove the cassette
altogether when soaking the Syringe tips, or remove the prime trough inserts for
the Peri-pump to prevent cross contamination of fluids or unintended wicking of
fluid into the cassette.
n
Keep in mind that any interaction with the MultiFlo FX will reset the interval
clock. And, AutoPrime only runs when the main menu, quick menu, or run
completion message is displayed.
n
When AutoPrime is running you can press
STOP
on the keypad to stop it. It
will run again the next time the downtime interval occurs.
When the Peri-pump AutoPrime is Stopped
Because purging and priming the tubing is the best way to remove air bubbles and
prepare the tubing for accurate dispensing, this routine is executed whenever
AutoPrime for the Peri-pump is stopped:
1.
Purge
: fluid is purged from the tubing, i.e. returned to the supply vessel. The
volume depends on the cassette type (µL/tube).
2.
Prime
: the tubing is primed with the optimal volume of fluid (µL/tube):
