Checking Wash Solution Volume
Introduction
Before starting a run, the wash solution should be checked to ensure that there is
sufficient volume to complete the run.
Each wash solution box will perform approximately 1,000 tests. The instrument also
has an internal reservoir of wash solution, so a run can continue for a short time after
the box is empty; however, the box should be replaced as soon as possible.
Checking Wash Solution
Follow the steps below to check the wash solution volume.
Step
Action
1
Visually inspect the wash solution level through the perforated cut-outs at
the top of the box and/or lift and swirl the box.
2
Replace the box if the wash solution volume does not appear sufficient to
complete the run. (Refer to CHAPTER 6,
Reagents/Calibration
Wash Solution for more information.)
Wash solution can be pooled.
NOTICE
For a more accurate estimation of wash solution usage, record the cycle count when a
new wash solution box is placed on the system. Replace the box when the cycle count
nears 1,000 additional tests.
