2.2 Working Process of QuickGene-810
The following describes the working flow of the QuickGene-810:
(1) The extraction program is started by using the operation unit.
(2) The wash buffer and elution buffer are sent from the buffer setting unit to the
pump unit.
(3) The wash buffer and elution buffer are sent from the pump unit to the carrier
unit.
(4) The pressurized air, wash buffer, and elution buffer are sent from the carrier
unit into the cartridge, and the extraction process is performed.
(5) The extracted sample is eluted to the collection tube set in the sample unit.
The waste is discharged to the waste tube.
2.3 Safety Mechanism
This section explains the safety mechanisms of the QuickGene-810.
The QuickGene-810 provides the following safety mechanisms:
• Front cover
• Earth leakage breaker
• LCD, Lamp (LED), and buzzer
■
Front cover
When the front cover is open, operations such as extraction processes cannot be performed.
Also, if the front cover is opened during the extraction process, it will be temporarily interrupted.
However, when the buffer pump is working, the pump will continue to work until the step is completed.
Operation can be restarted from this point in the process by pressing the start button.
■
Earth leakage breaker
When there is an electric leak or current surge caused by failures of the QuickGene-810, the earth leakage
breaker will cut off the power supply.
If the earth leakage breaker trips, contact your local representative.
■
LCD, Lamp (LED), and buzzer
The LCD, Lamp (LED), and buzzer display the operating status of the QuickGene-810.
Note: During the extraction process, do not open the front cover unless it is necessary.
