Section 9
Data and Utilities
The Data/Utilities screen on the Profinia ™ purification system provides access to
maintenance, diagnostic, and calibration functions that are used to ensure optimum
instrument performance; it also provides options for managing data generated from purification
runs.
9.1 Exporting Data & Real-Time Data Acquisition
Profinia system run data files include information about sample protein yield, concentrations,
elution times, and the main steps of a purification method. Profinia system memory can
store up to three data files. If three data files are already in system memory when a new
run is started, the most recent file overwrites the oldest file.
9.1.1 Exporting Data to USB Portable Memory Device
To transfer a stored run data file to a computer running Profinia software or a spreadsheet-
based software program:
1. Insert a portable memory device into the USB port on the front of the Profinia instrument
(Figure 9.1).

Data File screen.
4. Touch the arrow buttons to scroll through the list of stored run data files; highlight the
file you would like to transfer.
5. Touch the Export Data button to begin file transfer. The screen displays a progress bar
during file transfer.
