ProfilerPro Glycan Profiling Kit, Ver 2, User GuideLabChip Kit Essential PracticesTo ensure proper assay performance please follow the important handling practices described below. Failure toobserve these guidelines may void the LabChip Kit product warranty. 1NOTE: It is important to keep particulates out of the chip wells, channels and capillary. Many of the followingguidelines are designed to keep the chips particulate free.For assay and instrument troubleshooting, refer to the LabChip GX Software Help file or call Caliper TechnicalSupport at 1-877-LABCHIP.General1. Use of the “Reverse Pipetting Technique” (described below) will help avoid introducing bubbles into thechip when pipetting the gel.2. Avoid use of powdered gloves. Use only non-powdered gloves when handling chips, reagents, sampleplates, and when cleaning the instrument electrodes and electrode block.3. Calibrate laboratory pipettes regularly to ensure proper reagent dispensing. Only the Caliper-suppliedclean room cloth can be used on the chip to clean the detection window.4. The entire chip surface must be thoroughly dry before use.5. The sipper must be kept immersed in fluid at all times and should not be exposed to an open environmentfor long periods of time.6. Use care in chip handling to prevent sipper damage. Damage to the sipper can result in inconsistentsampling.7. Avoid exposing the chips to dust by keeping them in a closed environment such as in the chip containeror in the instrument before and after chip preparation.Reverse Pipetting Technique1. Depress the pipette plunger to the second stop.2. Aspirate the selected volume plus an excess amount from the tube.3. Dispense the selected volume into the corner of the well by depressing plunger to the first stop.4. Withdraw the pipette from the well.1 Caliper Life Sciences warrants that the LabChip Kit meets specification at the time of shipment, and is free from defects in material and workmanship. LabChipKits are warranted for 60 days from the date of shipment. All claims under this warranty must be made within thirty days of the discovery of the defect.Caliper Life Sciences Page 18 of 21 PN: 45070968 Elm StreetHopkinton, MA 01748-16681-877-LABCHIP (522-2447)
ProfilerPro Glycan Profiling Kit, Ver 2, User GuideRepriming a Chip1. Press the CHIP button on the front instrument panel to eject the chip cartridge.2. Reinsert the cartridge by pushing the cartridge back into the instrument.3. Press the Run button on the main screen of the LabChip GX software to start another run.Chip Well Aspiration Using a VacuumAspirating with a pipette can leave used reagents in the chip wells. For this reason, Caliper recommendsvacuuming the wells instead. This can be accomplished by attaching a permanent pipette tip to a house vacuumline with trap (Figures 1a and b). To avoid contamination, use a new pipette tip over the permanent tip for eachchip aspirated.Figure 1a.
