About Startup and Cleanup Protocols

Startup Protocols are processes that are run before the Main Protocol starts. For example, you can use the Startup Protocol to prime pumps with fluid.

Cleanup Protocols are processes that are run after the main protocol finishes. For example, you can use the Cleanup Protocol to purge lines with a buffer or cleaning solution.

Procedure

To set up a startup protocol or cleanup protocol process:

1 In the protocol area, click Startup Protocol or Cleanup Protocol.

2 Add processes, set plate properties, and add tasks as you would in the Main Protocol.
