Interrupting a Routine
You can interrupt a maintenance routine before it has finished, for example, if you
forgot to fill the reagent block with the necessary liquids and reagents.
To interrupt a maintenance routine
 Click Stop.
Note: When you click on the Routine Log link while a routine is running, the
Routine Commands window opens. You must close the Routine Commands
window before you will be able to click Stop to interrupt the routine.
Preparing Your Instrument for Nonuse
When the MAGPIX instrument is not used for a period of time, microbes may grow
in the water reservoir and traces of liquids and reagents in the lines can crystallize.
Therefore, if you do not plan to use your instrument for 14 or more days, Bio-Rad
recommends you prepare your instrument for a period of nonuse. Taking these
steps before the instrument is idle will minimize the maintenance required when you
resume using it.
To prepare your instrument for nonuse
1. Run the Prepare for Storage maintenance routine.
2. Remove the drive fluid container from the instrument.
3. Remove and empty the waste container.
4. Empty any liquids from the reagent block. Wash and dry the reagent block.
5. Empty any liquids from the well strip.
