In the instrument touchscreen, wait for the QuantStudio

3D Instrument to

detect and image the chip.

IMPORTANT! Do not open the chip tray or remove the USB drive (if present)

while the instrument displays the countdown screen. Doing so will invalidate the

image data and require you to repeat the run.

Once the instrument detects the chip, it begins processing the chip. While the

instrument images the chip, the touchscreen counts down the time remaining in

the run.

Note: While the run is in progress, you can stop the run at any time by touching

Cancel.

Note: The touchscreen reports the QuantStudio

3D Instrument status as "USB

in use" while the instrument writes the results to the USB drive.

When the touchscreen displays the Analyzing Chip screen, open the chip tray

and remove the Digital PCR 20K Chip

. Store or discard it as desired.

You can read another Digital PCR 20K Chip without waiting for the analysis to

complete. To begin the next run, load another chip.

Note: Running chips in rapid succession will not compromise the ongoing

analysis.

The QuantStudio

3D Instrument displays the results of the chip analysis after it

has processed the imaging data and before it has transferred the results to the

selected destination.
