TIPS
Here are some great ps to keep in mind whilst running your
MyGo instrument.
3.
The MyGo Mini lid can get warm during operaon, this is
completely normal.
This should ensure that all contents are at the boom of the
tubes, and there are no bubbles present. Reacon mixtures
which are viscous, or contain high levels of detergents, will
require stronger centrifugaon to remove bubbles. Please use
sucient g-force to ensure that no bubbles are present.
If the lid is o dust may fall into the wells and aect the
performance of your instrument.
15
Intensity (RFU)
Cycle
Bubbles can cause opcal artefacts as shown in the graph
below. Ensure that no bubbles are present in reacon volumes.
Please keep your work space clean including all lab equipment
like surfaces, pipees, and tube racks. This will keep the
instrument clean and help maintain good results.
We recommend a roune cleaning of your instrument. To do so
follow the cleaning guide in the Maintenance section.
Please disable all power saving sengs e.g. sleep and
hibernate.
