8.3.4 Unloading the “Eluate” drawer
Elution racks must be manually unloaded from the “Eluate” drawer.
If using QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments in integrated run mode, an elution rack on “Elution
slot 1” will be automatically transferred from the QIAsymphony SP to the AS module to start the
reaction setup. Afterwards, the elution rack will be automatically transferred back to the
QIAsymphony SP “Eluate” drawer.
If using QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments in the independent mode, the elution rack can be
directly transferred to the “Eluate and Reagents” drawer of the QIAsymphony AS by using the
Transfer button.
To transfer elution racks from any elution slot other than “Elution slot 1”, a manual transfer must
be performed. For increased flexibility, elution racks can be removed from the “Eluate” drawer
before a protocol run in independent mode has finished. As soon as eluates have been
transferred to an elution rack, the elution rack can be removed from the drawer.
