4.3 Daily Startup
On a daily basis, the system requires approximately 20 min of warmup time before running
quality control or any samples. To warm up the system:
1. Move the loading stage into the wash position.
2. Click on the Setup and Maintenance tab.
3. Click Startup.
Automatically the Startup Settings window will pop up (Figure 32). Using the startup button, the
instrument can either be started up at the moment or a scheduled startup can be designated.
Startup Now is the default option.
4. Choose startup option in the Startup Settings window.
5. Click the checkmark box to proceed.
Note: If scheduling an auto startup, the software will return to the main window and will not
start up the system until the scheduled time.
The Startup Status window will display the status of the startup process (Figure 33). The startup
process includes initializing the system, filling the fluidics lines, and warming up the lasers.
