Cleaning Procedure – This feature is used to flush the dispense manifold, it can
be helpful when attempting to remove debris from the dispense manifold. During
the cleaning procedure wash solution is dispensed out of the dispense manifold
into a user supplied trough and aspirated back though the dispense manifold to
waste.
A user-supplied trough is required for this procedure. It is placed in the plate nest
prior to starting the procedure. Clear lids for SBS pipette tip boxes work well and
allow you to see the cleaning cycle during operation.
If a clean, non-system wash solution is desired, the user-supplied trough can be
filled with the desired solution prior to the wash step. The control parameters are
as follows (Figure 18)
