Managing instrument methods in PyroMark Q24 Software
  • Main Image Navi
PyroMark instruments dispense the correct volume of enzyme mix, substrate mix, and nucleotides using variable pulse times and dispensing pressures. The settings for these pulse times and dispensing pressures are specific for each lot of PyroMark Q24 Cartridges and correspond to the method number printed on the PyroMark Q24 Cartridge. The instrument method should be selected in the PyroMark Q24 Software according to the reagents and reagent cartridge that will be used for the run. The settings and instrument method files provided on this page are only for use with PyroMark Q24 Software and PyroMark Gold Q24 Reagents.
