12 | 12 | * Two QIAcube instruments are used, called "C" and "A":[[BR]]a. For 1-12 specimens, instrument "C" is used.[[BR]]b. For 13-24 specimens, the samples are distributed as evenly as possible between the two instruments.[[BR]]c. For each QIAcube, the samples are allocated positions according to the QIAcube placement scheme, in order to ensure stability of the centrifuge.[[BR]]d. Originally, 1 and 11 samples are not allowed in a QIAcube run, since they cannot be distributed so as to result in acceptable stability of the centrifuge. However, they will be allowed here, if a counterbalance blank vial filled with water is added, to ensure stability. A reminder note should be displayed to minimize the risk, that the counterbalance vial is forgotten.[[BR]]e. A generalized QIAcube position will be used in the form, consisting of a QIAcube instrument prefix letter "C" or "A" followed by the traditional position number in the instrument.[[BR]]f. The generalized QIAcube position will be stored as two annotations for an extract; the original QIAcube position number and a QIAcube instrument prefix. |
