(Optional) Connecting a Dual Rinse Station
A dual rinse station can be used to reduce sample contamination and
carryover.
In the simplest arrangement, one channel of the peristaltic pump supplies
rinse solution to both tubes the rinse station, while the used rinse solution
drains from both tubes by gravity. Other tubing arrangements are discussed in
the
Operator’s Manual
.
