A. Installation
Getting started
Place the vacuum pump on the oor or on a workbench other than the one
being used for your experimental set-up.
Plug pipe between vacuum Domino and vacuum pump.
On the vacuum pump body, turn the switch ON.
Make sure the specially designed shims are placed on the
bottom of the vacuum Domino.
Additional instructions
• Check the performances of vacuum Domino when the μΕlution™ plate is
present.The vacuum should be between 2.5–4 Hg. If not, you may need to
adjust the pump accordingly.
Note: For this step the pump must be powered directly from the wall (not
through the power switch).
• At the beginning of the experiment, a waste consumable must be placed
inside the vacuum Domino, beneath the μElution™ plate.
Connect the power switch to the bridge USB port.
Connect the vacuum pump power cord to the power switch A/C output port.
Plug the power switch power cord to a power source.

Operations
Design your protocol
Execute experiment with
Vacuum+
Start the experiment and let OneLab
control your device
OneLab will automatically select your
Vacuum+ and allows you to use it with every
available experiment set-up, either manual,
semi-automated or fully automated operation.
Choose your desired experiment setup and
then prepare all the required materials.
Our drag-n-drop editor makes it easy to
design a precise and complete protocol
with all that you need to run your
experiment perfectly.
Create an Apply negative/posi-
tive pressure action by clicking
on this menu, which is located in
the left of the screen.
Actions
Follow the visual instructions based on the
protocol being used and you will be guided
through your experiment.
Each step of the experiment will be recorded
and available in OneLab.
