Processing Parameters
Calibrator Values
The values must be entered in the same units as specified in the Units parameter. Type the values
for the number of calibrators stated above in ascending order (low to high). This facilitates proper
placement of the calibration samples on the rack, since the load list does not denote the cup order
of the user-defined calibrators. All other values are disregarded.
Calibration Time Limit
Calibration time limit is the number of hours the chemistry can be run before recalibration is
required. If this time is exceeded, the chemistry cannot be run. This parameter is not applicable if
the number of calibrators is zero. (Refer to
CHAPTER 4,
Reagent Load/Calibration
for calibration
procedures.)
IMPORTANT
If the UDR is removed from the instrument, calibration is lost. To enable Cal Save, refer to
Expanded User Defined Chemistry Feature in this chapter.
Processing Parameters
First Inject: Component
The First Inject component designates the compartment of the cartridge which will be pipetted
first.
First Inject: Dispense Volume
The combined volume of all inject reagents must be between 200 and 327 μL. If Second Inject and
Third Inject reagents are not used, the minimum volume for First Inject is 200 μL.
