7 Instrument Setup and Calibration
Before starting any runs, the QIAgility must be calibrated.
This section outlines the calibrations that must be performed.
If the QIAgility is moved, we recommend recalibrating the
plate positions. Unless the pipetting mechanism has been
serviced, or pipetted volumes are found to be inaccurate,
there is no need to recalibrate the volume.
Note : If pipetted volumes are found to be inaccurate, please
contact QIAGEN Technical Services.
