Cleaning is normally performed automatically at completion of a sequencing run.
If the Ion GeneStudio
™
S5 Food Protection Instrument is initialized and
• a sequencing run is not started within 24 hours after initialization, or
• a sequencing run is not completed due to a power failure or an abort, and <200
flows occurred before the stoppage
then an instrument reset run is required to ensure proper cleaning before
reinitialization
Do NOT perform a manual cleaning with an unused, initialized Ion S5
™
Wash
Solution cartridge.
Note:
·
If a power failure or abort occurs during the second of two runs that are started
after a single initialization, a manual cleaning is sufficient (see “Manually clean the
instrument“ on page 14).
·
If the number of flows that occurred before a power failure or abort is unknown,
perform an instrument reset run.
To perform an instrument reset run, use the following procedure before
reinitialization:
1.
In the instrument touchscreen main menu, touch Run.
The instrument door unlocks and the chip clamp disengages.
2.
Ensure that a used sequencing chip is in the chip clamp, then push the chip
clamp in all the way to engage.
3.
Close the instrument door, then touch Next.
4.
When prompted, select Planned Run (none). Ensure that the Enable post-run
clean checkbox is selected, then press Review.
5.
In the Select Run screen, touch Edit, then in the Detail screen set the number of
flows to 200. Ensure that the Post-Run/Clean checkbox is selected, then touch
Close.
6.
Touch Start run, then touch Accept to confirm that Post-Run Clean is enabled,
and to start the run.
When the instrument reset run completes, the instrument automatically performs the
cleaning procedure. After cleaning, the touchscreen returns to the main menu.
