Sortostat/Setting up a new chip
From OpenWetWare
this is a work in progress
<need a diagram of the setup here>
Materials
Filter-sterilzed (200nm) ddH20
Moving tubing from an old chip to a fresh one
- Remove pins 1-8 from the old chip
- Detach tubes 1-8 from the tubes connected to the manifold (do not remove the tubes from the manifold itself).
- The advatage of this is that you can now remove the tubing from the incubator and it is much easier to work with.
- Insert a syringe with a luer adapter into the end of tube#1 and fill the tube with water. Use the dripping water to identify the pin #1 and insert it into the appropriate position on the chip.
- Repeat this for tubes 2-8.
- When 1-8 have been filled and attached move onto the next block of 8 and repeat for all 32 control tubes.
