   2. Select the Waste and UF tab.
   3. Enter 2 in the Cycles field.
   4. Select Initialize, Report, Pipettor Tip Carousel and MTUMulti-tube unit—Container used to process tests in the instrument. An MTU contains five separate reaction tubes. The MTU is moved through the instrument by the linear distributor and includes five tiplets for pipettiing to be used in the mag wash station. TipletDisposable tip within an MTU. Catcher.
   5. Ensure you have at least 4 MTUs loaded, prior to starting this test or the test will fail.
   6. Click on WOTF OQ Test to run an OQ.

Liquid Waste on the Fly Verification Procedure

1. Verify that the vacuum pressure is between 6 and 8 in Hg (-203 to -271 mbar).
2. Click on the IC-Waste on the Fly tab.
3. Select the Liquid Waste on the Fly tab.

   

4. Verify the Removable Bottle Sensors are reading Present, Empty, and Not Full with no fluid present.

   

5. Verify the Static bottle sensors.
   1. Verify the liquid level state is 0%.
   2. Verify the presence sensor is reading Present.

      

   3. Turn off the vacuum.
   4. Open the cap on the permanent bottle and add approximately 1L of DI water. DO NOT OVERFILL.
   5. Verify liquid level actual percentage increases as liquid is added to the static bottle.

      

   6. Reinstall the cap.
   7. Start the vacuum.
6. Turn ON the Transfer Pump.

   

   1. Allow Static Bottle liquid level to drop to 0%.
   2. Turn OFF the transfer pump.
   3. Open the solenoid valve.

      

   4. Read and verify the state of the solenoid valve.
   5. Close the solenoid valve.
   6. Read and verify the state of the solenoid valve.
7. Verify the flood sensors are present and reading No Liquid.

   

Universal Fluids on the Fly Verification Procedure

1. Place the bleach bottle into its proper position in the Universal Fluid Drawer.
   
2. Fill with bleach until you see the float and verify that the indicator light shows Full.

   

3. Start Panther Main and run PrimeOperation of pumping fluid through tubing to ensure proper and consistent fluid delivery (remove air from the tubing, etc.)..
4. If the Prime is completed with no errors the verification is complete.
5. Replace ALL fluids with a fresh set for the customer.
