Operating with VR NxT
Perform a controlled stop
To stop the rotor gently, press .
NOTICE: Before opening the rotor chamber, check from the transparent lid if the rotating parts have completely
stopped.
Perform a quick stop
To stop the rotor immediately, choose one of the following solutions:
l Turn off the main power switch.
l Unplug the power supply from the instrument (see "Stop the volume reduction process" on the previous page)
pulling the locking device backwards.
l Unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
Recover the samples
To reprocess the samples contained in the instrument at the time of the stop, act as follows:
1. If you performed a quick stop, restore the initial situation as follows:
If you... Then...
turned off the main power switch turn on the main power switch:the instrument
performs a self-diagnostic test.
unplugged the power supply from the instrument plug the power supply:the instrument performs a self-
diagnostic test.
unplugged the power cord from the electrical socket plug the power cord in the electrical socket:the
instrument performs a self-diagnostic test.
2. Open the rotor chamber.
3. Move the closed holder in the holder rack and then under the biosafety cabinet class II.
4. Push the bottom of the holder clips to open the closed holder.
5. Lift the cap and throw it in the biohazard waste disposal container.
6. Check the sample volume and act as follows:
If the sample volume is
similar to...
And you want to
reduce the
volume...
Then...
its starting level to ~13.5 or ~12.5 µl see "Reduce the volume to 13.5 or 12.5 µl if the
volume is similar to the starting level" on the facing
page
to ~3 or ~2 µl see "Reduce the volume to 3 or 2 µl if the volume is
similar to the starting level" on the facing page
the intended final level to ~13.5 or ~12.5 µl see "Reduce the volume to 13.5 or 12.5 µl if the
volume is similar to the intended final level" on the
facing page
to ~3 or ~2 µl see "Reduce the volume to 3 or 2 µl if the volume is
similar to the intended final level" on the facing page
