d) Reagent Mixing Wells and Holder - The reagent mixing holder holds 18 reagent mixing
wells (6 x 3 wells) for the system to perform reagent mixing. Reagent mixing may be
required where a reagent to be dispensed to the plate is made up of two component
reagents that are required to be mixed prior to dispense due to time stability of the mixed
components. The reagent mixing well holder is filled with 18 reagent mixing wells and
loaded on to a consumable drawer. It may be loaded in either orientation that fits into any
of the four locations on a drawer. The reagent mixing well holder is refillable with reagent
mixing wells and has a two-dimensional barcode located on each narrow end of the holder
for the camera on the transport arm to identify the consumable as a deep well strip holder.
