Set Up the

High Voltage (HV)

Conditioning Routine

Insert a blank ProteinChip array into the reader. If blank arrays are not
available, use expired arrays or arrays that have already been used.

For the Enterprise Edition instrument: place a cassette filled with
12 blank or used arrays into the instrument.

For the Personal Edition instrument: insert a blank ProteinChip
array.

In ProteinChip data manager software, select the instrument and click Start.

In the Protocol Mode tab, select Instrument > Quick Run.

Select all 8 spots, then set up a Quick Run protocol as shown below:

For the Enterprise Edition instrument:

RC3 HV pos 15 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
RC3 HV pos 20 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
RC3 HV pos 25 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
RC3 HV pos 30 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
RC3 HV neg 15 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
RC3 HV neg 20 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
RC3 HV neg 25 kV conditioning, partition 1 of 8, all 8 spots
