•
When performing electrophoresis of Lumio
™
fusion proteins, we
recommend extending the run time of the gel for an additional 2 minutes
to prevent the formation of a fluorescent dye front.
•
If your sample contains high salt or detergent concentrations, you may
need to manually increase the run time.
•
To increase the run time when a cassette is inserted, press and release the
time button to increase the time setting by 1-minute intervals or press and
hold the time button to increase the time continuously.
•
To increase the run time while a run is in progress, see next page. To
manually interrupt or stop a run, see page 21.
