For more information about sensor chips, and for the full recommended
protocols, see the booklet ProteOn Sensor Chips Tips and Techniques.
Storage and Temperature Equilibration
Store sensor chips at 4ºC. To avoid condensation from occurring on the chip
surface, keep the chips in the sealed nitrogen-filled pouch until they have
come to room temperature. Temperature equilibration takes 0.5–1.0 hr.
To equilibrate a sensor chip:
• Remove the sensor chip from its box and allow it to come to room
temperature for 30 min to 1 hr.
Opening the Sensor Chip
To open the sensor chip:
1. Remove the aluminum pouch containing the ProteOn sensor chip from
its box and allow the pouch to come to room temperature before
opening. The chip is stored at 4ºC. Allow 0.5–1.0 hr for temperature
equilibration.
2. To open, cut the aluminum pouch at the sealed end.
3. Grasp the green end of the cartridge inside the aluminum pouch.
Caution: Condensation on the chip surface
produces inaccurate results. To prevent
condensation from occurring on the chip
surface, do not open the nitrogen-filled pouch
until the sensor chip is temperature equilibrated.
