Operating Instructions
Loading and unloading the PDQeX
The door of the PDQeX slides horizontally
left and right. The door will lock during
operation or UV decontamination.
Before inserting any cartridges into the
block, ensure the lifting tool is in place,
making it easier to remove spent
cartridges after the run is complete.
Pull out the collection tube rack and place
0.2 ml PCR tubes firmly into the rack.
The rack will accommodate up to three 8-
strip PCR tubes.
Remember where you have placed the
collection tubes. You will need to place the
cartridges in the same position in the
cartridge block.
Replace the rack into its slot in the PDQeX
and firmly push into place.
