Syringe Maintenance
The following syringe cleaning and maintenance procedures are
recommended to ensure optimum performance of the ProteOn XPR36 protein
interaction array system.
• Both buffer and sample syringes should be replaced or cleaned
regularly to ensure cleanliness and to remove salts or microbial
growth. Frequency of replacement depends on the number of
protocols run and the fluids used. Inspect the syringes once a
month and replace them if necessary.
A syringe replacement software wizard guides you through the cleaning and/
or replacement process. It lowers the syringe plungers at the proper time for
easy and safe removal.
The process consists of the following steps:
1. The user inserts an MNT chip.
2. The user starts the wizard.
3. The wizard moves the syringe plungers to the lowered position.
4. The user removes the syringe compartment cover.
5. The user removes, cleans, and/or replaces any syringes as needed.
6. The wizard primes the system while the user checks for leaks.
7. The user replaces the syringe compartment cover.
8. The wizard raises the syringes in preparation for normal operation.
Caution: To ensure your safety and to prevent
damage to the syringes, wear gloves when
handling the syringes.
