Installation of reagents in the refrigerated compartment
•
If access is authorised, open the reagent compartment.
•
Slide the reagent rack into a rail in the refrigerated reagent compartment until the positioning pin is fully
inserted.
•
Push down the rack handle to ensure the reagent rack is firmly positioned at the bottom of the compartment.
The reagent rack should be firmly locked and should not move during the stirring of magnetic particle vial.
•
Visually check the magnetic particle vial of Immunoassay cartridges is stirring in a smooth motion.
•
Repeat for all the racks to be installed on the analyser.
The reagent cartridges are automatically identified by the barcode reader as the rack is inserted in the rail.
On the interface, the reagents are identified and displayed in green with the corresponding lot number.
The countdown sequence until use begins automatically.
!
Each time a cartridge (or a reagent bottle) already stabilized on-board is removed then
installed again in the compartment, a countdown before use begins, even for an immediate
reloading.
Handle the reagent racks only when necessary.
!
If positive identification has failed, the reagent cartridge position is displayed in orange with
“???” instead of the name and lot number.
!
It is imperative, when installing a cartridge or a reagent bottle, that each occupied position of
the reagent compartment should be immediately identified.
Otherwise, the management of reagents provided by the system (see
3-2-3 Management of
on board reagents , page 44) may be impaired and the results generated may be incorrect.
•
Should identification fail, repeat the procedure for putting the reagent rack in position.
•
If the position is still not identified, click on the position.
•
Select the type of reagent rack installed.
