NOTE: The total amount of buffer is calculated and displayed below the scroll bar.
2. Select the START RUN button. The RUN LOG screen is displayed.
The elapsed, remaining and total times are listed on the RUN LOG screen.
The Start, Current, Finish, and Batch times are also listed. The current step, total and
current time are always displayed in blue at the bottom of the Run Log.
NOTE: If the current time is not accurate do not change it during the run. Adjust the time
at the completion of the run. To reset time refer to the Windows 95/98 documentation.
If Substrate-Batch is used, the Batch Time is listed as the +HH:MM required to apply all
reagents except for the substrate. The calculated batch time is also displayed.

After the completion of the run, the slides will be rinsed with DI water every 60 minutes
until the slides are removed from the Autostainer Plus.
