(ii)Press the command button to aspirate AIR. The command light is steady and you see alternately In Run Screens 3a and 3b.

(iii)Put the tip of the transfer-tubing into the sample then press the command button

to aspirate liquid. The command light is steady and you see alternately In Run Screens 4a and 4b.

(iv)Put the tip of the transfer-tubing into a recipient vessel then press the command button to dispense the fraction, the command

light is steady. Repeat for the other fractions. The command light is steady and you see alternately In Run Screens 5a and 5b.

(v)Put the tip into the waste then press the command button to dispense the ‘Extra volume’. The com- mand light is steady and you see alter- nately In Run Screens 6a and 6b.

(vi)Put the tip of the transfer-tubing into the waste then press the command button to rinse. The command light goes out while the tubing is being rinsed. Then, you are returned to In-run Screen 1 for the next sample. At his point you may continue to cycle through In-run Screens 1 to 6, or end the run by pressing STOP, in which case you see the Abort Screen.
