u
Regularly check lid-base pairs to make sure that they fit securely. Also check hinges for signs of abnormal
wear or loose fittings. An airtight seal requires that the hinges have adequate clamping strength.
u
Record which hybridization chamber was used for each BeadChip. If sample evaporation or other
processing anomalies occur, investigate the appropriate hybridization chambers.
u
When the hybridization chamber inserts contain BeadChips, keep them steady and level when lifting or
moving.
u
Avoid shaking, and always keep parallel to the lab bench.
u
Do not hold by the sides near the sample inlets.
Rocker Platform [Optional]
If you are using an Illumina Hybridization Oven with a rocker platform, follow these guidelines:
u
If 7 to12 hybridization chambers (Hyb Chambers) are placed in 1 hybridization oven, the rocker must be
removed before beginning the
Hybridize to BeadChip
section.
u
If 1 to 6 Hyb Chambers are placed in 1 hybridization oven, removing the rocker platform before beginning
the
Hybridize to BeadChip
section is optional.
u
Removing the rocker platform is optional for plate incubation in the
Amplify DNA, Incubate DNA,
Fragment DNA, Precipitate DNA,
and
Resuspend DNA
sections.
