Connect the vial of base fluid to the pump module​

In anticipation of starting a new experiment, take a fresh vial of base fluid, open it, and connect it to the left holder on the eProtein Discovery instrument pump module.

important note

It is important to equilibrate the base fluid with the lab atmosphere prior to use. This is to prevent outgassing of the base fluid during the run, as air bubbles can interfere with the droplet movement. We recommend attaching the base fluid to the instrument the day before you will perform the run. An acceptable alternative is to incubate the uncapped base fluid at 30°C / 86°F for 1 hour.

Connect the waste container, empty, to the right holder of the pump module.
