Processing and Common Operations
Processing
Automatic Mode
When processing in the Automatic mode, the COBE 2991’s functions are
controlled by the program board—it advances from one operation to the next
automatically. Refer to the
COBE 2991 Cell Processor Protocols Guide for
information regarding specific protocols.
Manual Mode
When processing in the Manual mode, the COBE 2991’s functions are controlled
by the operator—it does not advance from one operation to the next automatically.
It is possible to utilize only one operation or to skip an operation, allowing
maximum flexibility for specialized applications. The following generic overview
describes the first cycle of a basic processing/wash procedure performed in the
Manual mode. This overview assumes that the cell processing set has been installed,
the starting cell product and solutions have been connected, the starting cell
product has been prediluted (if necessary), and the starting cell product has been
loaded.
