Chip imaging
• Prepared and thermal cycled chips
• Isopropanol
• Gloves, powder-free, nitrile
• Low-lint polyester wipes, clean-room grade
For optimal efficiency when running large numbers (>6) of chips, follow the guidelines
below:
• Run the chips in alphanumeric order (according to chip ID) to help avoid
mistakes when entering sample information.
• If you are running multiple chips, you can run the next chip in the series when the
touchscreen displays the Analyzing Chip screen, as described in the following
procedure.
Imaging data is always saved on the instrument, but you can also automatically
transfer the data from a run to a USB, the Connect cloud-based platform, or a
network destination, as described below.
1.
From the Main Menu of the touchscreen, touch
