How to Run Instrument Diagnostics Tests
NOTE
Diagnostics tests cannot be run while the 2100 expert software is performing a chip
run.
To run diagnostics tests:
1 From the Context menu, select Instrument.
2 In the Tree View Panel, select the bioanalyzer on which you want to run the tests.
3 Select the Diagnostics tab.
All available tests are displayed in the Available Tests list. The tests that can be
executed depend on the type of cartridge that is installed in the bioanalyzer (see
“Switching Between Electrophoretic and Flow Cytometric Assays” on page 47).
The 2100 expert software will generate an error message if a wrong cartridge type is
detected for the selected assay. To run the selected test please insert the requested
cartridge type (see “Switching Between Electrophoretic and Flow Cytometric Assays”
on page 47).
NOTE
You can perform diagnostics tests only if the bioanalyzer is switched on. In offline
mode, the Diagnostics tab of the Instrument Context is dimmed.
