Before running any of the tests:
•
Watch the Experion Training Video: Chip Loading (supplied with this kit and available
at www.bio-rad.com/experion/)
•
Clean the electrodes as detailed in Appendix B. When working with RNA, pay special
attention to cleaning the Experion system to ensure the electrodes remain free from
RNases. This is particularly true if one system serves many users within a laboratory
Note: If this is the first time the Experion electrophoresis station is being used, refer to
Appendix C for instructions on how to prepare the system for use.
