Maintenance and Troubleshooting 9

Essential Measurement Practices

Tools and Handling

•Always follow the GLP-rules established in the laboratory.

•Always wear gloves when handling chips to prevent contamination.

•When pipetting sample, use non-filter pipette tips that are of adequate size.

Pipette tips that are too large will lead to poor quantitation accuracy.

•Change pipette tips between steps to avoid cross-contamination.

•Always insert the pipette tip to the bottom of the well when dispensing

liquid. Placing the tip at the edge of the well leads to bubbles and poor

results. Holding the pipette at a slight angle will ensure proper dispensing

of the liquid.

•Use a new syringe and electrode cleaner with each new kit.

10 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Essential Measurement Practices

Chip Priming Station

•Refer to the appropriate Kit Guide for the correct position of the syringe

clip and base plate.

•Replace the syringe with each new kit.

•Check the performance of the chip priming station by applying the seal test

on a monthly basis. For details see “Maintenance of the Chip Priming

Station” on page 131. If necessary, replace the gasket and/or adapter.
