IAPS with ILASS power cycle instructions
Best practices when power cycling Infinium Automated Pipetting System (IAPS) with Illumina Lab Automation Software Solution (ILASS)
In order to properly power cycle the IAPS with ILASS, the computer must be completely turned off and allowed to sit, not just restarted.
Power cycle the water circulator with the computer each time to reduce communication issues.
Step by Step Instructions to Power Cycle IAPS with ILASS
Turn off the water circulator using the power button on the front of the water circulator control unit.
On the ILASS landing page, select username in upper-right corner and sign out of ILASS.
Turn off the IAPS with ILASS instrument.
Shut down the computer using the Windows Start menu and wait for at least 2 minutes.
Turn on the computer and allow it to fully boot into the desktop.
Turn on the water circulator using the power button on the front of the water circulator control unit. The water circulator will display an hourglass while it is booting.
Once the water circulator is running, if planning to degas the Te-Flow, adjust to 40°C using the Set button on the control unit screen. (Otherwise, the temperature will rise to the calibrated set point when selecting the Infinium Assay workflow step in ILASS.)
Turn on the IAPS with ILASS instrument.
Enter computer username and password.
Launch ILASS software module.
If prompted, log in to the operating software for the instrument using an administrator account.
If available, select either Platform or Local for authentication mode.
Sign in to ILASS. Select the name of the appropriate Infinium Assay workflow.
If available, select option to turn On or turn Off LIMS integration.
Select the step of the Infinium Assay workflow to initiate and follow the prompts to proceed with the workflow. The water circulator temperature increases to the calibrated set point in the Te-Flow.
