About the 96AM Wash Station

The 96AM Wash Station has 96 chimneys and is scaled to work with the

syringe probes in the Bravo 96AM Head. The wash station is used for washing

the syringes and washing cartridges or pipette tips that are seated on the

syringe probes.

Figure Chimney detail in the 96AM Wash Station

Fresh wash liquid enters the 96AM Wash Station through two inlet ports (1),

shown in the following figure. The wash liquid flows up through the chimneys,

and the waste overflows from the chimneys and is removed through two outlet

ports (2).

Figure Inlet ports (1) and outlet ports (2) in the 96AM Wash Station

Required resources and workflow

Ensure that you have the following tools and materials:

•Replacement Wash Station Chimneys: large internal diameter, pack 100,

Agilent part number 15586- 002

•Hex driver to uninstall and install 2- mm hex screws

•1 needle- nose pliers to remove the bad chimneys from the 96AM Wash

Station

•Small rubber pad or foam to protect your thumb when seating a new

chimney in the 96AM Wash Station.

CAUTION Ensure that you use only the 96AM Wash Station on the AssayMAP Bravo

Platform. Using a model of the Tip Wash Station other than the 96AM Wash Station can result

in a potential crash with the Bravo 96AM Head.

WARNING The probes of the Bravo 96AM Head are sharp and can scratch you if they

brush across your hand. A probe scratch can expose you to any contaminants remaining on

the probes. Wear gloves and use extreme caution to avoid brushing against the probes.

Required resources and workflow

AssayMAP 96AM Wash Station Maintenance Guide

Perform the following steps in the order given.

Step For this task... See...

1Inspect the chimneys for damage and

irregularities.

“Determining if the

chimneys are in good

condition” on page 6

2Empty the wash station. “Emptying the 96AM Wash

Station” on page 6

3Uninstall the wash station. “Uninstalling the 96AM

Wash Station” on page 10

4Replace the damaged chimneys. “Replacing damaged

chimneys” on page 11

5Install the wash station. “Installing the wash station

and connecting the tubing”

on page 13

6Verify the wash station teachpoint

and adjust it, as necessary:

aInitialize the AssayMAP 1

profile and adjust the

teachpoint for the 96AM Wash

Station.

bUse the AssayMAP Teachpoint

Update protocol to update the

teachpoint in the remaining

profiles in the Protein Sample

Prep Workbench

automatically.

7Start up the AssayMAP Bravo

Platform and verify that all the

chimneys work consistently.

Determining if the chimneys are in good condition

6AssayMAP 96AM Wash Station Maintenance Guide

Determining if the chimneys are in good condition

During normal operation of the 96AM Wash Station, the fluid flow out of the

top of each chimney and the shape of the fluid dome at the top of each

chimney must consistent. To ensure consistency in the fluid flow from each

chimney, the chimneys must be:

•Clean and free of any debris.

•Free of deformities or irregularities.

See the good condition chimneys in the following figure. The chimneys

must not be damaged, such as those shown in the figure (possibly from a

head collision).

•Equal in height and installed in the same orientation.

Figure Close up views of 96AM Wash Station chimneys

Chimney irregularities or damaged chimneys can cause large droplets to cling

to the syringe probes, which can introduce variability in the assay.

Emptying the 96AM Wash Station

This topic describes how to use the Pump Reagent task in Bravo Diagnostics to

empty any fluid from the wash station.

Before you start

WARNING The probes of the Bravo 96AM Head are sharp and can scratch you if they

brush across your hand. A probe scratch can expose you to any contaminants remaining on

the probes. Wear gloves and use extreme caution to avoid brushing against the probes.

WARNING When you initialize the Bravo Platform, the head and tie bar can move. To

prevent potential injury, keep clear of the device while it is in motion.

CAUTION To prevent potential equipment damage, ensure that the deck is clear of any

obstacles before initializing the AssayMAP Bravo Platform.

Emptying the 96AM Wash Station

AssayMAP 96AM Wash Station Maintenance Guide

Running the Pump Reagent task to empty the wash station

To empty the wash station using the Pump Reagent task:

1At the carboy that contains the wash solution, remove the lid and lift it so

that the tubing is above the liquid level.

2Ensure that the Protein Sample Prep Workbench is closed, and then start

the VWorks software.

You can use the VWorks desktop icon or the Start menu on the Windows

desktop to start the VWorks software.

3Ensure that Simulation is off.

4In the VWorks window, open the AssayMAP Bravo device file

(AssayMAP Bravo.dev).

To do this, click File > Open. In the Open dialog box, ensure the file type is

Device Files (*.dev), select the file, and then click Open.

The device files are installed in the following default location:

C:\VWorks Workspace\Workbench\Device Files

5Click No when the Would you like to initialize devices now? message appears.

6In the AssayMAP Bravo.dev tab, click Device diagnostics. The Bravo Diagnostics

dialog opens.

CAUTION Using an incorrect profile can cause equipment damage. Ensure that the profile

is correct for the head type and deck configuration.
