Does the MultiPep RSi require a computer? The MultiPepRSi
is operated from a standard PC. The graphical software takes care of
derivative and sequence definition, generation of peptide sequences
from parent protein sequences, calculation of reagent consumption,
operation of the instrument and generation of a log file of operation.
How much programming is required to operate the MultiPep RSi? During
everyday use you just define the peptide sequences, select a protocol,
load the work area and start the synthesis. More experienced users can
modify the pre-defined protocols and adapt them to their specific
needs. The relevant parameters of the protocol are accessible in the
software.
Do I have access to all synthesis parameters? The
synthesis cycle is composed of individual tasks of the robot. The
software lets you have full access to all relevant parameters and you
can modify existing methods or create new procedures.
Is there a record of what the instrument does? All
instrument operations are automatically recorded to the computer hard
disc. The files can be opened by standard text editors.
