13 Reload the flow cell that you removed to install the new gaskets.
14 Make sure that the Vacuum Engaged checkbox is selected, and then select Next.
15 Perform a fluidics check using the default pump values:
a
Select solution 2 from the drop-down list.
b
Select Pump.
c
Inspect the flow cell for bubbles passing through the lanes and leaks near the manifolds.
d
If you see a constant stream of bubbles, replace the gasket and repeat the fluidics check.
16 Remove the waste tubes for the appropriate flow cell from the waste container.
17 Bundle the eight waste tubes with parafilm. Keep the tubes ends even.
18 Place the bundled tube ends into a 250 ml bottle.
19 Select Next to start the wash.
20 When the wash is complete, select Return to Start.
21 Measure the delivered volume.
Positions
Delivered Volume
Eight SBS positions
82 ml
10 paired-end positions
76 ml
All positions
19.75 ml per lane
NOTE
All bottles and tubes are filled to capacity to make sure that the sippers are rinsed. However, the
delivered volume for each position varies so the bottles and tubes contain different volumes when the
wash is complete.
22 Unwrap the waste tubes and return them to the waste container.
Idle the Instrument
Use the following instructions to prepare the instrument to sit idle for up to 10 days. For durations longer than
10 days, shut down the instrument instead.
1
Perform a maintenance wash to flush the system.
2
Leave the flow cell on the flow cell stage with the flow cell lever in position 2. Leave the manifolds in the
raised position.
3
Load 10 ml laboratory-grade water in each position in the reagent racks, and then lower the sippers.
4
Before using the instrument, perform a water wash.
Shut Down the Instrument
Use the following procedure to prepare fluidics safely and shut down the system. Shut down the instrument
only if you do not plan to use it within the next 10 days or more. If you plan to use the instrument within the
next 10 days, idle it instead.
1
Perform a maintenance wash to flush the system.
2
Remove the flow cell from the flow cell stage.
