Training, BR On-site Introductory

The On-Site QIAGEN BioRobot Systems Introductory Training covers up to 16 hours of training time to refresh current users or introduce new users to the QIAGEN BioRobot Systems hardware and QIAsoft Operating System software. Participants are given an overview of the hardware system and maintenance/troubleshooting procedures before exploring the three software environments of the QIAsoft Operating System. Each software environment is explained in detail, and users are taken step by step through each section with explanations on how to best adjust or write new protocols for their BioRobot System. An introduction to teaching new and exisiting slots and racks is followed by writing a new protocol which uses these with the three available pipetting options, pooling, distributing and transfer. Users are encouraged to write protocols in the proper format creating prompts, flushes, and correct pipetting parameters. The training concludes asprotocols are tested and run reinforcing concepts and demonstrating success.
