Start Up
Startup is a series of fluidic functions that prepares the array reader to acquire
data. This process requires the Bio-Plex MCV Plate IV, distilled water, and
70% isopropanol. Startup takes approximately 10 minutes.
NOTE: The startup procedure can be performed while the optics are warming
up, but no validations, calibrations or runs should be performed before the
optics are warmed up. This takes an estimated time of 30 minutes.
Click the Start Up button on the main toolbar or select the command
from the Instrument menu. Follow the step-by-step directions in the dialog
box for preparing the MCV Plate IV.
