Planning for the protocol run Reviewing the protocol Before you start a run, make sure you review the protocol and determine the following: • The correct liquid-handling head is installed. To avoid variability problems, use only Agilent Technologies brand tips. • The accessories and labware required for the protocol are where they should be positioned. • The reservoirs that must be filled. • The waste bins or bottles that should be emptied.
