contains four buttons:
•

Pressing the

®
RSC Instrument.
•
Reports.
The
Reports
button takes users to the Reports Screen where it is possible to review, print,
and export any of the run reports from previous purification runs and service processes. From this
screen it is also possible to use an integrated Quantus™ Fluorometer to associate quantitation data with
an existing extraction run report.
•
Sanitize.
Pressing the
Sanitize
button activates the UV light in the Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument for the
time specified by the instrument administrator. During the sanitization procedure it is possible to access
reports, settings, and even start the procedure of setting up a new protocol processing run as long as
these functions do not proceed to an interruption of the sanitization procedure. Functions that are not
allowed during sanitization include opening the door, instrument self test, instrument cleanup, and
proceeding past bar code entry for a protocol processing run.
•
Settings.
The
Settings
button accesses the Settings window, which includes functions to: view
Instrument Info, perform an instrument Self Test, remove plungers with Clean Up, export all log files
with Export Logs, and change instrument settings with Administrator (only available to users with
Administrator level access).
The Instrument name appears in the title bar of the user interface. The following navigation buttons are
displayed across the top of the user interface window:
•

This button toggles the open/closed status of the door on the Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument.
•

This indicates a Quantus™ Fluorometer is connected and ready to use for quantitation.
Quantitation results are added to completed extractions via reports.
•
Help.
Pressing the help button will activate the context-sensitive help for the current page of the
Maxwell
®
RSC User Interface.
