The data from the result screen can be saved to a disk. In future applications with the
LightCycler System and COBAS TaqMan 48 Analyzer these data files can be transferred to
the respective instruments.
4.1 Data Transfer to other Instruments
䉴
Data transfer to the LightCycler® System
You may create a text file of MagNA Pure Compact Run information and results that
may be used on the LightCycler® System.
Note: Details on the creation of this file are contained in a separate document.

Data transfer to COBAS TaqMan 48 Analyzer
You may create a text file of the purification run of the MagNA Pure Compact
Instrument containing information and results that may be used on the COBAS
TaqMan 48 Analyzer.
Note: Details on the creation of this file are contained in a separate document.
4.2 Upload of New or Updated Purification Protocols
As new or updated purification protocols are created, they may be added to the MagNA
Pure Compact Instrument via external data carrier disks (e.g. software update disk) during
program start up.
Additional protocols will be available for download from http://www. magnapure.com.
Follow the download instructions on this web site. Always save the downloaded protocol
files onto a newly formatted floppy disk.
Note:
䉴
Update disks will automatically be checked for viruses by the instrument software.
䉴
Each protocol file contains information on which reagent kits may be used with the
protocol. The instrument will use this information [kit name and kit number
(included as a barcode on kit cartridges)] to verify and decode the scanned cartridge
barcodes when you scan them into the SAMPLE ORDERING Screens. (See section B.2
for details.)
Workflow:
1. MagNA Pure Compact Instrument must be shut down.
2. Insert update disk.
3. Switch on instrument.
4. Software is automatically updated.
5. After Main Screen is displayed, remove update disk.
6. Update complete.
