Running Protocols
This chapter describes how to run protocols on the Peloris™ system. The first section gives all the steps to run a
protocol once reagents and protocols have been configured. The second describes cleaning protocols, and the
third describes the Status screen, where you control and monitor processing. The fourth and fifth sections give
details about modifying or pausing protocol runs. The sixth section discusses general issues about scheduling
protocols.

3.1 Quick Start – Running a Protocol
Follow the instructions below to run a protocol.
Before you begin all the reagents you need must be configured and there must be a validated
protocol ready to load. See 5.3 Managing Reagent Stations and 4.2 Creating, Editing and Viewing
Protocols for direction on these topics.
Instrument Checks and Setup
1. On the screen, tap the Status button to view the Status screen:
(i) Check that the retort icon shows the retort is clean or has residue of a reagent compatible
with the first reagent of the protocol.
(ii) Check for hatched bottle or wax chamber icons.
Replace the reagent in hatched stations (see 5.4 Replacing Reagents).
