Typical conditions for using maintenance wizards

Condition

Applicable Wizard/action

Description

The polymer has been

in the pump longer

than 1 week.

Use the Water Wash wizard (instead of

Change Polymer wizard) to replace the

polymer.

Using the Water Wash wizard ensures that

the system is clean before fresh polymer is

introduced.
Certain polymer components may

decompose, causing an increase in

electrophoresis current in polymer that has

been at room temperature for more than 1

week.

Bubbles move but are

not completely

cleared by the Bubble

Remove wizard.

Use the Bubble Remove wizard

repeatedly

until the bubbles are gone.

—

You want to clear

persistent bubbles.

• Run the Water Wash wizard. If bubbles

are still present, run the Bubble Remove

wizard.

• Remove the polymer bottle. Run the

Bubble Remove wizard to draw air into

the pump chamber and other parts of

the system. Reinstall the polymer bottle

and repeat the Bubble Remove wizard to

remove all bubbles.

• The Water Wash wizard includes refilling

the pump with polymer.

• After the pump is idle, bubbles that

previously did not move are often cleared

by running the Bubble Remove wizard.

Many or large

bubbles are present

in the pump chamber.

Run the Water Wash wizard.

—

No bubbles are

present in the array

port during the

monthly water wash

procedure.

Perform the Flush Array Port procedure

using the Water Wash wizard as part of

monthly maintenance, even if no bubbles are

present.

Occasional flushing of the array port keeps

this space filled with fresh solution.

You want to install a

capillary array on an

instrument without an

array.

Use the Install Array wizard.

Filling the array helps to ensure complete

changeover to polymer after the polymer

delivery pump has been washed with water.

You want to remove or

install a capillary

array.

Carefully follow the instructions in the

appropriate wizard (Install Array or

Instrument Shutdown wizard).

—

You select Discard

during installation of

an array using the

Install Array wizard.

The information for that array cannot be

entered again on the instrument.

—

The instrument will

be idle for >1 week.

Use the Instrument Shutdown wizard.
