2.3 Starting the Run
Turn on the PROTEAN i12 IEF cell by pressing the power switch on the right side of the instrument. A
self-diagnostic program runs for approximately 10 sec. On the user interface, a message reads Self Test in
Progress. If a component fails, the diagnostic program stops, and an error message appears (see Chapter 7,
Troubleshooting).
Once the cell is powered on, the Main screen appears (Figure 2.6). Start the run by selecting one of the
options described in Figure 2.6.
