Priming and Purging the NGC Scout System

Priming the NGC Scout system is a manual procedure and involves priming the

buffer blending valve starting from the Q4 port to Q1. You can purge one line at a

time, or all lines sequentially. These procedures require access to ChromLab.

Tip:

You can perform the steps on the NGC touch screen.

This section assumes that you have not introduced buffer into the lines.

If you have buffer in the lines and are purging the lines of small air bubbles,
