Configuring the System
Remember if your protocol requires sweeping,
that must first be specified in the plate
definition used in the protocol.
11. Select YES to specify a sweep on all aspiration cycles. The
display will read:
Sweep height? 370
SHOW
Note: The default value is displayed. Select
SHOW to move the wash head to the default
sweep position so that the height can be
checked. Then, determine the correct value as
outlined on page 30. Repeat the procedure as
needed.
12. Enter the desired value using the keypad and press ENTER. The
display will read:
Sweep stroke? 100
Note: There isn’t a SHOW function for the
sweep stroke. Determine optimum sweep
stroke setting by starting with a small number
and increase it if the residual aspirate volume
is not acceptable. If you run a protocol and
the wash pins strike the sides or bottom of the
well, reduce the sweep stroke and review your
plate setup parameters.
13. Enter the desired value using the keypad and press ENTER. The
display will read:
Bottom wash? NO
YES NO
14. Select YES if a bottom wash is to be included. The display will
read:
Wash height? 368
SHOW
Note: The default value for bottom wash
height is displayed. Select SHOW to move the
wash head to the default bottom wash position
so that the height can be checked. Then,
determine the correct value as outlined on
page 30. Repeat the procedure as needed.
