8.3.6 Checks and Terminating Tasks
Performing
Checks and
Tasks
•
Check if the run has been terminated without any error (check for error messages).
•
Empty and clean the reagent troughs.
•
Empty and clean the waste container and rinse it with ethanol.
WARNING
Contamination of the pipetting head.
If the pipetting head is initialized with the fixed tip block or DiTis mounted to it, the re-
maining liquid in the tips may be drawn into the head and thus contaminate the head.
•
Always drop the DiTis before initializing the pipetting head, i.e. before switching the
instrument off (each time the instrument is switched on, the head will be initialized
again).
8.3.7 Switching the Instrument Off
Before switching the instrument off, some maintenance tasks might need to be per-
formed, e.g. tip cleaning.
Except in an emergency, switch the instrument off only after an application is completed.
To switch the instrument off:
Press the power ON/OFF switch and keep it pressed for at least 2 seconds.
ATTENTION
Wait until the status light in the power switch is off (for approximately 10 seconds) before
switching the instrument on again.
8.3.8 When a Crash Occurred
When a crash occurred, consult chapter 8 “Troubleshooting”, for possible corrective
measures. Check the log files generated by the application software.
