2.1 Powering On the Automated Droplet Generator

The Automated Droplet Generator (AutoDG

) is designed to remain powered

on in order to preserve positive airflow inside of the instrument and track
consumable use. The instrument stays in an idle state when not being used.
Please see Section 2.2 for instructions on starting a run from idle mode.

1. When powering on the Automated Droplet Generator, you will see a startup

screen while the instrument powers on and performs a self-check. Please
note that the door will automatically close.
