ELISYS QUATTRO User Manual HUMAN 5-3
If reagents were not identified or placed without barcode, the user has to
make sure that the manually allocated positions correspond to the actual
placement on the reagent rack. Manually allocated reagents are identified in
the result printout and in the log file.
5.1.5.1 Loading Reagent Racks
1. Insert rack on that track that is marked by the red LED on the rear panel.
Place rack in front of the track and then push evenly up to the limit stop (with
the pin in the contact pin hole on the rear panel).
The bar code labels must
face right towards the bar code scanner .
2. The LED goes off and jumps to the next position that can be loaded. (A red
flashing LED indicates that the rack wasn’t identified correctly. Pull out the
rack and insert it once more.) A graphical representation of the correctly
inserted rack appears on the screen. From the pool of unallocated resources
in the right-hand side of the screen, the loaded reagents are allocated to the
rack in accordance with the identified loading. Place the mouse pointer on the
reagent to check the ID.
3. Insert the next racks as described.
The software shows all resources prior to allocation in the area Unallocated re-
sources in their respective colour (as defined in the reagent database).
All
automatically allocated samples and reagents are crossed, all manually al-
located samples and reagents are not crossed.
Loaded reagents which are identified by a bar code and which are not needed for the
current worklist are presented in black.
Reagents that have not been identified are not displayed in the reagent area, the po-
sition remains white. The symbols of these reagents can be allocated from the area
Unallocated resources to the respective positions with the mouse.
