we had an abi 3700 array with multiple capillaries shut down.
After a nitric acid wash, nothing was changed at first.
After a second nitric acid wash (3 weeks after the first wash) and a
spatial calibration, we fully recovered all of the shut down -
capillaries and the array is as good as new.
My question is: Is this happening because of the succesive acid washes
or is the spatial calibration doing anything to optimize the output
from indivual capillaries, that are out of alignment.
