Unboxing & setup
Ascent instrument — from box to first run
Watch these short clips to get your Ascent set up and running. Each one takes about a minute — play it, then follow along on your own instrument.
Setup and use

Ten short clips, in order — from unboxing the instrument to loading columns and running. Switch tabs to jump to a step; each clip plays into the next.
Step 1 of 10 — Remove instrument tape
After unboxing the Ascent from its packaging, open the door and remove the red tape holding the tube rack platform to the stage. Set the tube rack platform aside.
