Creating a new program

There are several optional commands to design a user-defined program, including options on the temperature,
rotation speed, direction, and duration, acceleration, and iteration. An overview of program commands is
shown in Table 4.5 .
Tips and hints for user-defined programs:
Do not exceed a maximum of 3,200 rounds per run, when creating a new program. Running higher numbers
l
of rounds per run may result in damage of the sealing of the gentleMACS™ Tube.
Typically, gentleMACS Programs consist of several spin commands, each with a different speed and clockwise
l
rotation. Integration of short counterclockwise spin commands can increase the efficiency of the dissociation
or homogenization.
Incubation periods typically run at –20 rpm. A counter-clockwise rotation has been beneficial in many cases.
