Running a Periodic Prime or Rinse Process
A Periodic prime or rinse lets you define the prime or rinse process that can then be run
repeatedly at a specified interval of time.
Figure 4-16: The Periodic Prime/Rinse option
Press the or buttons to scroll through the options until Periodic is displayed,
and then press .
The software displays a series of prompts to prepare the instrument for the process.
Note: Before starting a prime or rinse process, make sure that the applicable wash or
rinse bottle contains adequate liquid, and that the waste bottle is empty. The
minimum volume required for a Prime/Rinse function is 7.5mL+1.5mL (total of 9mL),
where 7.5mL is the volume of liquid in the tube (from Rinse bottle to Dispense head of
manifold) and 1.5mL is the volume dispensed during the Prime/Rinse cycle. We
suggest using a little more than 7.5mL + 1.5mL to have enough backup pressure to
push liquid through the tube and dispense the required volume (1.5mL).
The software displays the prompts in the following order:
1. Select the Bottle for the Prime or Rinse Process, see page 44
2. Confirm the Level of the Wash or Rinse Bottle, see page 45
3. Confirm the Level of the Waste Bottle, see page 46
4. Defining the Liquid Volume for the Prime or Rinse Process, see page 47
5. Defining the Interval Between Each Prime or Rinse Process, see page 48
After the instrument is prepared, the periodic prime or rinse process can be run. See Starting
the Periodic Prime or Rinse Process on page 49 .
The defined prime or rinse process repeats after the defined interval of time until the process
is stopped.
