Flushing the System
Flushing the system pumps the selected buffer at the maximum flow rate
through the instrument fluidics, bypassing the flow cell (buffer does not flow
over the sensor chip). The flushing process replaces the previous buffer in the
fluidics with the new buffer and eliminates air bubbles in the system. You can
flush the system manually using the buffer control buttons on the instrument,
or in ProteOn Manager software.
See also Flushing and Priming the System on page 27.
To flush the system:
• On the Instrument Control screen, click the Buffer button for the
valve you want to flush
• The Buffer A button flushes the left buffer bottle, and the Buffer B
button flushes the right buffer bottle. You cannot cancel the
flushing process after it starts.
Caution: Do not allow the buffer bottle to run
dry.
