•
For each fluid, you must fill the fluid’s associated cassette
reservoir (see Loading the fluids for the description of the physical
loading). At this point, the software is waiting for you to fill a reservoir
and then to indicate that the reservoir has been filled by clicking Filled
(or Enter).
•
If you need to skip over a dispensehead and instead add fluid to
the next available dispensehead, you can click Skip. Skipping a
dispensehead shifts down by one dispensehead all the fluids in the list
that have not yet been loaded.
A skipped dispensehead should usually be marked as Used so it cannot
be used if the cassette is re-loaded.
•
Click the All Filled (F4) button to indicate that all fluids on the
cassette have been filled and are ready for dispensing. You have the
option to fill each reservoir one at a time, with dispensing occurring as
soon as you click Filled for each fluid, or you can fill all the reservoirs
prior to initiating dispensing by clicking on All Filled.
Note
For aqueous fluids, it is recommended that fluids not be prefilled
due to evaporation.
