We recommend loading the drawers in the order:
1. “Waste” drawer
2. “Eluate” drawer
3. “Reagents and Consumables” drawer
4. “Sample” drawer
8.1 Using the software Wizard
The QIAsymphony SP operating software offers a Wizard that provides step-
by-step guidance for setting up a run.
The Wizard takes you through:

Loading the “Waste” drawer

Loading the “Eluate” drawer

Loading the “Reagents and Consumables” drawer

Loading the “Sample” drawer

Defining a batch/run with or without work lists

Loading internal controls
It is possible to set up a run on the QIAsymphony SP with or without the Wizard .
Important
The Wizard can only be used for setting up independent sample preparation
runs. It cannot be used to set up an integrated run.
