Note : Once a run file has been created, it can be checked
using “Virtual Mode” operation. See Section 5.1 and 5.2 for
more details about “Virtual Mode” operation.
See Sections 5.10.1, 5.10.2, and 5.10.3 for information
about how to create a new run file, either using a wizard, or
using the “Empty Project” (last used layout)” or “Empty
Project (default layout)” function.
6.4.4 Preparing the worktable
After loading the desired run file, the worktable must be
prepared. The pre-run report provides details about the
location and amount/volume of consumables and liquids
that are required on the worktable for completion of the
loaded run file. To view the pre-run report, select
“Wizards/Generate report”. See Section 6.7.1 for more
details about the pre-run report.
Note : Before preparing the worktable, ensure that the tip
disposal box has sufficient space to accommodate additional
used tips that will be produced from the run.
1. Prepare the reagents and samples.
2. Open the instrument lid.
3. If tips are available on the worktable, check whether
these are the correct tip types and whether sufficient tips
are available. If not, add more tips to the worktable and
make these available in the software. See Section 5.7.2
for more details about how to do this. The following
picture outlines how to insert tips into Tip Rack Holders.
4. Place the correct plates on the worktable.
