Priming and Purging the System
This section explains how to prime your system before running the pumps, and
how to purge your system of air bubbles or rapidly exchanging buffer
solutions.
Note: This section assumes that you primed the wash system when you
plumbed the system. See Plumbing All NGC Systems on page 100 for more
information.
Priming and purging tasks are specific to the NGC system. Table 13 lists the tasks
associated with each system configuration. The tasks are explained in detail in the
sections that follow.
