10 Leave the staining rack in the wash dish for later use (carrying the BeadChips after disassembling the
flow-through chambers).
11
Using the dismantling tool
, remove the two metal clamps from a flow-through chamber.
The dismantling tool prevents chipping the glass back plates.
12 Lift the glass back plate straight up to remove. Set aside for cleaning after finishing this procedure.
Sliding the glass along the BeadChip can damage the BeadChip.
13 Remove the spacer, avoiding contact with the BeadChip stripes.
14 Remove the BeadChip from the black frame. Handle the BeadChip only by the barcode end or edges.
15 Repeat steps
–
to disassemble each flow-through chamber one at a time.
16 Place the BeadChips into the submerged staining rack. Make sure that the BeadChip barcodes face
away
from you and the locking arms face
toward
you.
CAUTION
Submerge each BeadChip as quickly as possible to prevent drying.
17 If necessary to seat a BeadChip, briefly lift the staining rack from the wash dish and seat the BeadChip.
18 Make sure that the BeadChips are submerged.
19 Slowly move the staining rack up and down 10 times, breaking the PB1 surface. If the tops of the
BeadChips touch, gently wiggle the staining rack to separate the slides.
