Purge Utility
KC4 provides a special utility to purge fluid from the dispense tubing and syringe
by pumping the fluid in reverse, back into the supply bottle. To purge the dispense
module:
1.
In KC4™, select
System|Reader Control
and click the
Dispenser
tab.
2.
Select the
Dispenser
(1 or 2) associated with the supply bottle.
3.
Enter the desired purge
Volume
from 5 to 5000 L.
4.
Select a prime
Rate
in L/second.
5.
Click
Purge
to start the process.
Emptying the Tip Priming Trough
Read & Dispense protocols can specify a
tip prime
to compensate for any fluid
loss at the dispense tip due to evaporation since the last dispense. Tip priming is
performed in a small, removable priming trough located in the left rear of the
carrier (see page 45). The trough holds up to 1.5 ml of liquid and must be
periodically emptied and cleaned by the user.
If the Tip Priming Trough overflows, you should clean the
microplate carrier and possibly the internal surface beneath the
carrier. See
Chapter 5, Preventive Maintenance
for instructions.
See also
Appendix A
for decontamination instructions.
KC4 must be “told” when the trough has been emptied. To empty the tip priming
trough:
1.
If the microplate carrier is inside the reader, press the carrier eject button.
2.
Carefully remove the trough from the carrier and empty it. Clean or
decontaminate the trough if necessary.
3.
In KC4, select
System|Reader Control
and click the
Dispenser
tab. The
Tip Prime Trough value shows KC4’s estimate of how much fluid is in the
trough.
4.
Click
Dump all Tip Prime Trough(s)
. The Tip Prime Trough value will
reset to ‘1500 L remaining’ meaning the trough is empty.
Note:
When running a Read & Dispense protocol, KC4 may prompt
you to empty the tip prime trough. In this case, KC4 will
automatically open the
System|Reader Control
,
Dispenser
dialog.
