RT-MN024-1.2 02/21
ATTENTION
Instruments are intended for indoor operation with controlled temperatures. DiTis may
leak due to pipetting liquids with high vapor pressure. It is important to maintain constant
temperature plus air gaps.
ATTENTION
Possible malfunction due to tip clogging.
Using liquids with undissolved particles could lead to clogged tips and thus result in liquid
not being dispensed.
Clogging can also result if the tips have not been thoroughly washed.
With Te-PS and Low volume tips, do not use liquids with undissolved particles.
Air Displacement Pipetting Arm (Air LiHa)
ATTENTION
Pipetting errors due to insufficient maintenance.
Leakage or malfunction of the Air LiHa might remain undetected if the maintenance has
not been performed properly.
Make sure to perform the necessary maintenance and tests according to the maintenance
schedule.
Applications
For all applications of the PyroTec™ PRO the user must ensure that the requirements of
each protocol are carefully observed. Attention must be given to:
•
Sample/reagent volumes and concentrations
•
Test plate layout
•
Sequence of steps
•
Temperature restrictions
•
Time limits
The PyroTec™ PRO should process controls, standards, or reference materials in the same
manner as test samples. Prior to any first-time application, test runs should be made with
the assay to allow optimization of all liquid handling parameters.
The PyroTec™ PRO requires accurate positioning of all reagents, samples, racks, and plates
on the instrument’s worktable. The operator should verify these positions accordingly be-
fore executing any program.
