P. 118 – 7.2.16 Cleaning reagent vessels in the

load drawer)

• Always fill or drain reagent vessels and the needle cleaning container outside of the instrument

in compliance with safety information to avoid or reduce the risk of spilling reagents into other

reagent vessels and onto interior instrument components.

• Proceed carefully and thoroughly when filling or draining and follow the respective applicable

laboratory specifications. Remove spilled reagents immediately. If a reagent vessel in the load

drawer has been contaminated, cleaning and refilling it is mandatory.

Note

•

Validated coverglass

(

P. 158 – Consumables)

•

A check and a scan of the consumables is always performed after the hood has been closed.

Note

•

If fewer than 300 slides are coverslipped per day on an ongoing basis, the HistoCore SPECTRA CV

can also be operated with just a single coverslip line. In this configuration, do not fill any

consumables (mounting medium, coverglass) in the unused coverslip line.

•

Please note: Each time a rack is inserted into the load drawer, the software indicates to the user

that there are missing consumables in the unused line. Confirm each of the respective information
