5.1.5 Load Sample and Reagent Racks
CAUTION: Laser radiation - do not stare into beam!
The red LED indicates the track where the rack is to be inserted. When loading rea-
gent racks that occupy three tracks it must be ensured that the rack with its right track
(= position of contact tappet) is placed on the tracks with the red LED. The bar code
labels must face right the bar code reader.
Samples having particulate matter, turbity, lipaemia, foam, or erythrocyte de-
bris may require clarification by filtration or centrifugation before testing.
The use of primary tubes with gel separator requires a careful check of the
sample volume above the gel to avoid any possible errors in dispensing.
Never remove a rack while still in use. Remove it only when the related LED
is flashing. If a sample rack is removed which is still in use, all samples not
already pipetted out of this rack will be flagged with
Removed
and not cal-
culated.
