After the run is complete, open the instrument door and check that all Plungers were ejected from the Magnetic Rod
Assembly. If a Plunger is still attached, push it down gently by hand to remove it. Select the Run/Stop button to extend
the platform.
For SEV protocols: Remove Elution Tubes to the Magnetic Elution Tube Rack (for SEV protocols) to capture any
residual particles to the side of the Elution Tubes.
For LEV protocols: Remove the LEV deck from the platform. If desired, the LEV deck can be placed on a LEV Elution
Magnet (available separately, Cat. No. AS1261) to capture any residual particles to the side of the Elution Tubes.
The eluted sample then can be transferred to a fresh tube for storage.
!
Important.
To avoid particle transfer after SEV runs, use a pipette tip to aspirate samples from the captured
particles on the side of the blue elution tube.
5.D. Post-Run UV Light Treatment
If you have configured your instrument to perform a UV light treatment at the end of each run, that treatment will start
when the door is closed
. Ensure that samples are removed before closing the door and starting the UV light treatment
to avoid damage to the nucleic acid. You can cancel the UV treatment at any time.

Run Reports
If the instrument is configured for the Maxwell
®
Sample Track software and connected to the computer or printer, you
can export or print a run report at the end of the run. By convention, run data files are named as the run date and
finishing time.
6.A. Data File Transfer at the End of a Run
At the end of a Maxwell
®
16 Forensic Instrument run, the
Data Transfer
screen opens to allow run data export. If
No
is
selected, the run data are saved for subsequent retrieval and not exported. If
Yes
is selected, the
