6 7 17. Review and confirm the configured run in the 3M Molecular Detection Software. 8 18. Click the Start button in the software and select instrument for use. The selected 9 instrument’s lid automatically opens. 10 19. Place the 3M Molecular Detection Speed Loader Tray into the 3M Molecular Detection 11 Instrument and close the lid to start the assay. Results are provided within 75 minutes, 12 although positives may be detected sooner. 13 20. After the assay is complete, remove the 3M Molecular Detection Speed Loader Tray from 14 the 3M Molecular Detection Instrument and dispose of the tubes by soaking in a 1-5% (v:v in 15 water) household bleach solution for 1 hour and away from the assay preparation area. 16 NOTICE: To minimize the risk of false positives due to cross-contamination, never open reagent 17 tubes containing amplified DNA. This includes Reagent Control, Reagent, and Matrix Control 18 tubes. Always dispose of sealed reagent tubes by soaking in a 1-5% (v:v in water) household 19 bleach solution for 1 hour and away from the assay preparation area. 22 An algorithm interprets the light output curve resulting from the detection of the nucleic acid 23 amplification. Results are analyzed automatically by the software and are color-coded based on 24 the result. A Positive or Negative result is determined by analysis of a number of unique curve 25 parameters. Presumptive positive results are reported in real-time while Negative and Inspect 26 results will be displayed after the run is completed.
