About the Utility Library
The Utility Library is a collection of protocols that automate specific tasks (for example, liquid handling) to prepare the system for an application protocol, transition between applications in a workflow, or transition between an application and loading onto an analytical device. For example, the System Startup/Shutdown utility initializes the AssayMAP Bravo Platform, washes the syringes, and primes the wash lines and the wash station.

Utility | Description | See… |
|---|---|---|
Cartridge Transfer v2.0 | Moves full columns of AssayMAP cartridges from the source cartridge rack to the 96AM Cartridge & Tip Seating Station. | |
Normalization v3.0 | Automates the normalization of up to 96 samples in microplate format. | |
Pipette Tip Transfer v2.0 | Moves full columns of disposable pipette tips from the source tip box to the 96AM Cartridge & Tip Seating Station. | |
Reagent Aliquot v2.0 | Aliquots a reagent from a single bulk reagent reservoir into 1–12 columns of a microplate or reservoir. The utility uses a single column of eight Agilent 250-µL pipette tips to prepare the aliquots. | |
Reagent Transfer v3.0 | Transfers 1–12 columns of reagents in parallel from a reagent source plate or reservoir into a 96-well plate. | |
Reformatting v3.0 | Transfers solutions from any well in one microplate to any well in another microplate. | |
Serial Dilution v3.0 | Creates a Serial Dilution plate with up to 24 dilutions and up to 5 replicates. | |
Single Liquid Addition v2.0 | Adjusts the buffer composition or adds a component to up to four sample plates. | |
Syringe Test v2.0 | Verifies the integrity of the probes and syringes in the Bravo 96AM Head. | |
Syringe Wash v3.0 | Washes the syringes after an application or utility run with the solution of your choice for the specified number of wash cycles to avoid run to run cross-contamination. | |
System Startup v3.0 | Initializes the AssayMAP Bravo Platform, washes the syringes, and primes the wash station and wash lines. | |
System Shutdown v3.0 | Prepares the AssayMAP Bravo Platform for idle time by washing the syringes and then aspirating 200 µL of Syringe Storage Liquid into the syringes. |
