Opentrons Flex Magnetic Bead Protein Purification Workstation
1. Preparation 1. Check the working environment: Make sure the laboratory environment is clean and free of dust and corrosive gases. Check the power supply to ensure the voltage is stable and meets the equipment requirements (100-240VAC, 50/60Hz). Check the laboratory temperature and humidity to ensure that they are within the specified working range of the equipment (temperature 20℃24℃, relative humidity 40%60%RH). 2. Prepare installation tools: screwdriver (including Phillips and slotted screwdrivers). wrench. Torque wrench (for precise adjustment of screw tightness). Spirit level (for leveling equipment). Cleaning cloth and detergent (for cleaning equipment surfaces). 3. Check the integrity of the equipment: Open the equipment package and check whether the main body of the equipment, accessories and accessories are complete. Check the names and quantities of accessories and accessories one by one against the equipment list.
2. Installation steps 1. Determine the installation location: Choose a stable, dry, and well-ventilated location. Make sure there is enough space around the equipment for easy operation and maintenance. Use a spirit level to calibrate the position of the equipment to ensure it is level. 2. Assemble the main body of the equipment: According to the equipment manual, assemble the main body of the equipment together. Use a screwdriver and wrench to hold the pieces together to make sure the connection is secure. Check whether the main body of the equipment is stable and without shaking. 3. Install functional modules: According to experimental needs, select appropriate functional modules (such as magnetic bead purification module, thermal oscillator, etc.). Install the function module on the main body of the device, making sure the connection is firm. Check whether the function module is working properly and there is no abnormal sound or vibration. 4. Connect the power and data cables: Connect the device to the power socket and ensure that the power and data cables are connected correctly. Turn on the power switch and check whether the device is powered on. 5. Install the pipette: According to the equipment manual, install the pipette on the main body of the equipment. Adjust the position and angle of the pipette to ensure it can accurately aspirate and release liquids. Use calibration tools to calibrate pipettes to ensure their accuracy and precision. 6. Software installation and configuration: Install the Opentrons Flex software ecosystem on your computer. Configure the software to communicate with and control the device according to the software instructions. Import experimental protocols or create new experimental protocols to ensure that software and equipment work together.
3. System testing and debugging 1. Run the system test program: Open the device software and run the system test program. Check whether all parts and functions of the equipment are working properly. Record the test results and make timely adjustments and repairs if there are any abnormalities. 2. Debugging experimental parameters: Adjust the working parameters of the equipment (such as pipetting speed, temperature, etc.) according to experimental needs. Carry out preparation work before the experiment, such as loading experimental samples, setting experimental conditions, etc. 3. Conduct a trial run: Use the equipment to conduct a complete experimental process to ensure that the equipment can work normally. Observe the experimental results and make timely adjustments and optimizations if there are any abnormalities.
4. Use and maintenance 1. Precautions for use: When using the equipment, be sure to comply with relevant safety operating procedures and guidelines. Avoid using the device in wet or flammable environments. Regularly check whether the power cord and data cable of the device are connected correctly to avoid looseness or damage. 2. Maintenance: Clean and maintain the equipment regularly to ensure that the surface of the equipment is free of dust and dirt. Check the wear of pipettes, functional modules and other components, and replace damaged components in a timely manner. Calibrate and test equipment regularly to ensure its accuracy and precision. 3. Training and education: Provide equipment operation training and education to laboratory personnel to ensure that they can use equipment correctly and safely. Provide relevant operating manuals and guides for laboratory personnel to refer to when needed.
By following these simple steps, you will be able to successfully install the Opentrons Flex magnetic bead protein purification workstation to provide strong support for subsequent experiments. This not only improves laboratory work efficiency, but also ensures the accuracy of experimental results. We hope this guide helps you and makes your lab work smoother.
