Adding and Deleting reagents
If your digestion method(s) require reagents not found on this list, use the keypad
function and type them into the “Add” box, then press “Add”. Choose an
appropriate viscosity rating for the newly added reagent. Click the arrow button
on the box labeled Viscosity (examples are given). Selecting the proper viscosity
rating is important if accurate volumes are to be delivered. If the viscosity of your
new reagent is not similar to any of the listed and rated reagents, the default
setting is 5 (Slowest).
To delete a reagent from the list, press the arrow to the right of the “Del” (delete)
box, choose the reagent, and press delete. A maximum of 10 reagents can be on
the list at one time. If the chart is full, a reagent must be deleted prior to adding
another.
