Monitoring the Run
After a run is started in the LabChip GX Touch software:
1
The priming and warming steps are performed.
•
The priming step fills the channels of the chip with reagent.
(Only performed if the chip holder has been opened since
the last run and the chip has not been primed.)
•
The warming step allows the heater plate in the chip holder
to regulate chip temperature to 30°C.
•
Data collection begins after the priming and chip warming
steps are completed.
2
For ProteinEXact chips, the calibration steps are performed.
3
The
displays the Chip and Run Status, the plate
diagram, and an electropherogram and gel of the well currently
being read.
4
For ProteinEXact chips, the Status Window displays the
calibration status of the calibration step currently being
performed instead of the plate diagram (see
