8.3.5 Pump Cal:
The option of “
Pump Cal
” allows the operator to adjust the volume being aspirated through the
Flowcell.
The adjustment of the peristaltic pump has two functions:
To adjust the volume of liquid aspirated into the flow cell. The volume of liquid must be enough to
rinse Flowcell sufficiently, but not more than the reaction mixture;
To adjust the volume aspirated during a wash cycle
If the aspiration volume is too high, air will be sucked into the flow cell. If aspiration volume is too
low, not enough liquid will flush the Flowcell. Whenever this occurs it is necessary to adjust the
aspiration volume.
Step1: Go to utilities Step2: Select “Pump cal”
Step4: Enter residual volume.
Step 3: Take 1000 µl of de-ionized water in a
test tube and press aspiration switch.
