the existing air bubble at the top and center of the viewing glass (level). Begin
dispensing the remaining wash A into the chip while holding the bubble steady
at the top center. Dispense until a small amount of wash A is visible in the empty
tip (opposite septum), and remove the pipette. A clear glass without air should
remain.
