QIAsymphony SP/AS Consolidated Operating Guide 12/2017

Important

Although the

Wizard

cannot be used with integrated runs, the steps for loading

the QIAsymphony SP are the same for independent runs (which allow use of the

Wizard

) and integrated runs.

Important

If you need assistance for using the QIAsymphony SP, we recommend using the

Wizard

. The QIAsymphony SP Wizard is comprehensive and easy to

understand, providing step-by-step instruction for loading QIAsymphony
drawers.

8.2

Loading the “Waste” drawer

Used 8-Rod Covers and sample prep cartridges are discarded by the robotic gripper into the
“Waste” drawer and are collected in 4 unit boxes in the drawer.

A container in the “Waste” drawer collects liquid waste from the sample preparation procedure.

Used disposable filter-tips are discarded into a tip disposal bag or waste bin. A tip park station in
the waste drawer allows used tips to be temporarily stored on the worktable for reuse in a later
protocol step.

Tip disposal bag

Tip chute

Liquid waste container

Tip park station

Empty unit boxes
