General Warnings

Don't run the PIXUL instrument without PIXUL Coupling Fluid.

Tilting the PIXUL instrument can result in spillage of Coupling Fluid.

Do not unplug or power off the PIXUL instrument during a run. Loss of power to the instrument

while a file is open can result in corruption of the data file and operating system.

Change PIXUL Coupling Fluid every 2 months.

PIXUL Coupling Fluid temperature should be approximately 15°C at the start of the sonication run.

Don't exceed a Coupling Fluid temperature of 35°C during sonication. If Coupling Fluid tempera-

ture is maintained within this range, in-well thermal monitoring indicates that the temperature of

the sample is within the normal range experienced by samples in all major sonication instruments

(please see referenced publication on page 9).

Only use room temperature (not previously frozen) 96-Well PIXUL Plates (cat. no. 53139) with the

PIXUL instrument. Place plates with well A1 in the upper left corner. All wells in columns being

sonicated MUST be filled with fluid. Do not reuse plates from partial runs, as this can lead to issues

with shearing consistency and sample contamination.

Don't lift the external lid during processing of samples. Lifting the external lid initiates drainage

of PIXUL Coupling Fluid from under the plate, necessitating re-circulation of Coupling Fluid to

continue processing samples.

Any technical modifications to the device are prohibited. Service works may be carried out only by

qualified personnel.

Personal Protective Equipment, such as long sleeve clothing, safety footwear, protective gloves,

and protective goggles, is required for certain activities.
