Assigning reagents
• If no reagent is assigned to a program step,
press REAGENT in the header row to switch
to the reagent list (see
chapter 5.4.7 ).
Highlight one of the reagents in the list and
press CONFIRM to assign it to the program
step.
• The reagent is now assigned to the step but
not yet to the station in which the step must
be executed.
For this reason, the row is highlighted in red
(1) indicating that the program step is not yet
ready to be started.
Assign the reagent selected for the step to
the correct station in INSTRUMENT STATUS
(see
chapter 5.5.2 ).
This is required to ensure that the correct
reagent is in the station since the instrument
itself cannot detect it.
• Define the DURATION of the step, whether
the step is EXACT or NON-EXACT and
whether or not there are DIPS.

CONFIRM: the selected duration is displayed in the DURATION col-
umn.
Caution!
If no step duration is selected, the default duration “00:00:00“
will be used, i.e. the corresponding step will NOT be carried
out.
