Notes on chip reuse
Pulsoid chips are not designed to be reused once a session (from Pulsoid activation to shutdown) has ended. Our in-house testing has not identified any storage conditions that consistently support successful reuse, so we recommend starting each run with a new chip.
That said, we have had limited success with the method below – although with a success rate below 50%, we cannot guarantee results. You are welcome to try the following steps and see if they work for your sample:
- While the chip is still in the fluid cell, rinse it with DI water.
- Remove the chip and rinse again with DI water.
- Dry the chip by gently blotting it dry, taking care not to rub the area around the pore on the aperture side.
- Store the chip in the black chip tray provided with NPS Training Kits.
