Processing Samples
4.1 Rack and Sample Cup/Tube Preparation
Green
Used for analysis of QC samples
Control material is programmed to a QC number (1 to 100).
Control numbers 1 to 100 are identified by the rack ID and
position. For example, control numbers 1 to 10 are placed in rack
ID 0001, control numbers 11 to 20 are placed in rack ID 0002 etc.
If QC Barcode Operation is enabled, controls can be placed in
any position in the green rack. The highest control number
(1 to 100) must be the last sample in the rack.
To requisition controls, view the controls required in the green
rack, and analyze controls, refer to
in chapter 3.
Orange
Used for manual repeat run analysis
If Sequential analysis is in use, place samples in numeric order
according to the repeat run requisition. Do not leave empty
spaces in the racks.
If Barcode analysis is in use, place samples in any position in the
rack.
Red
Used for emergency sample analysis
In Sequential analysis, place samples in numeric requisition
order. The system automatically assigns sample numbers based
on the tubes or cups detected, so empty spaces can be left in the
rack.
For example, if three samples are requisitioned and put in
positions 1, 3, and 5, the system assigns E001 to the sample in
position 1, E002 to the sample in position 3, and E003 to the
sample in position 5.
In Barcode analysis, the tubes can be placed in any order in the
rack.
