Wash Between Plates
You should wash the fluidics lines between each plate reading to prevent
traces of sample or other debris from building up inside the system.
Click the Wash Between Plates button on the Quick Guide or main
toolbar, or select the command from the Instrument menu. A dialog box
guides you through the steps for preparing the MCV Plate IV for a wash
procedure.
Figure 22. Steps for washing between plate readings
Add 70% isopropanol and distilled water to the appropriate reservoirs, insert
the plate in the microplate platform, and click OK. This procedure performs a
series of fluidics operations and takes several minutes. After initial system
pressurization (5 to 20 seconds), the time remaining in the operation displays
in the Bio-Plex Manager status bar.
