Figure 43. Full Scan Mode Tray View Progress
After starting the automated measurement in Full Scan mode, the Autosampler will scan all
the sample positions on the tray. Any rows with missing racks will be skipped. The
Autosampler can detect the tube type and whether the tube has a cap. Sample tubes will be
skipped if it has no cap or the Autosampler cannot determine the tube type.
The Autosampler then mixes the sample tube and reads the barcode label if one is used.
The sample tube is then moved to the aspiration position where the sample is aspirated and
measurement is performed. The aspiration and measurement process is the same in
automatic mode as in manual mode.
The sample tray progress can be followed in the tray view or the list view. The results for
completed samples can be reviewed by clicking or tapping on a completed sample.
The patient ID is not editable in the Full Scan mode as it is automatically set to the default
patient. The sample ID is not editable as it is read from the barcode label. If the barcode label
is missing or not readable, the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer assigns a default value and allows manual
entry of the sample ID.
