3.8 Post-experiment Operation

3.8.1 Pump Flush At the completion of the experiment, the BioOptix 10 provides

the option to flush the pumps (Figure 3-10). The pump flush will

pass a wash fluid through the pumps to prevent salts from crys-

tallizing in the system.

CAUTION

Salts will cause premature wear to the internal components

and eventually pump failure.

Figure 3-10 Pump flush option

If another experiment will be started immediately, this flush can

be skipped. Otherwise, if the system will remain idle for a few

hours or even overnight, the pump flush is recommended.

Flush the pumps for

storage

1. Click the Ye s option to flush the pumps. This opens the

BioOptix 10 flush window (Figure 3-11).
