To interrupt the protocol:
• Click Cancel, Stop, or Abort
If a critical error is discovered, the instrument interrupts the protocol. At the
end of the experiment, the state changes to Ready.

To change the state from Running to Stop:
• Click Stop on the Run screen.
The state also changes from Running to Stop when the protocol contains a

Note: You cannot initiate instrument operations in Standby state.
The instrument must be taken out of Standby state before
operations can resume.
When the instrument has been in Ready state with no activity for 4 hr, it enters
Standby state. During routine use, Standby state is preferred to shutting down
the instrument.
To transition the instrument to Standby state:
• Click Standby on the Instrument Control screen.
The chip you are using in Standby State determines the buffer flow rate and
consumption.
Standby state with an application sensor chip inserted in the instrument
• Buffer flows at 25 μl/min for 5 min, and then pauses for 5 min. The
instrument then continues to alternate buffer flow and pause in 5
min increments until the state is changed. Because buffer flows
only half the time, the system requires half as much buffer as
constant flow.
• Standby state consumes 18 ml x 6 syringes, or 108 ml buffer in 24
hr
To leave Standby state:
• Click Resume to go to Ready state through the initialization state or
eject the chip to go to Power Up state.
