FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Select the following items from the [Wash] menu, and perform each rinsing operation.

• Chip 1 to Chip 4 Washing: Rinse each microchip with water. The number of rinses can be set between 1 and 5 times. Although 1 time is normally sufficient, adjust this value as necessary.
• All Chip Washing: Rinse all the microchips installed with water. The number of rinses can be set between 1 and 5 times. Although 1 time is normally sufficient, adjust this value as necessary.
    Even chips that are not selected in the [Chip Management] window are washed.
• Probe Rinse: Rinse the sample probe with water.
• RNase Removal: Rinse the sample probe with probe rinsing solution and water.

 

NOTE:
  • Before rinsing, verify that the glass rinse water bottle for rising contains at least 100mL of Milli-Q ultrapure water or distilled water.
  • Before RNase removal, insert 1 mL of probe rinsing solution (RNaseZAP® Applied Biosystems (formerly Ambion)) into the buffer bottle, and place it in front of the rinse port in the reagent holder.
  • Avoid a mix up with the chip cleaning solution by discarding the probe rinsing solution set in the reagent holder after RNase removal is complete.
