The reagent bottles are filled with reagent group colors, and named from No.1 to No.13.
The reagent bottles have the following status:
• Empty ( → "Fig. 62- 1 ") - The reagent bottle is empty.
• Partially filled ( → "Fig. 62- 2 ") - The retort is sucking/draining a reagent.
• Full (
→
"Fig. 62- 3 ") - The reagent bottle is full.
• Blinking ( → "Fig. 62- 4 ") - The reagent is expired, when the RMS is on.
• No bottle shown in the place - The bottle is not used in the selected program.
A filling animation is displayed when the retort is sucking/draining a reagent. Reagent bottle filling
decreases from full to empty, when the retort is sucking a reagent; reagent bottle filling grows from
empty to full, when the retort is draining the reagent back.

When the retort is sucking a reagent from one station, the connection from the station (paraffin baths
and reagent bottles) to the retort is highlighted, with the pipe filled with the reagent group color

"Fig.
63- 1 ") . An animation shows the reagent going out of the station and into the retort. When the retort is
draining the reagent back to the station, the connection from the retort to the station is highlighted, with
the pipe filled with the reagent group color. An animation shows the reagent going out of the retort and
into the station.
