Warning
•
If racks for 5 slides are used for staining in the HistoCore SPECTRA ST, select the unloader as the
last step in the program. Remove the finished stained slides and place them into a suitable rack for
the HistoCore SPECTRA CV.
Note
•
The HistoCore SPECTRA CV can be operated as a workstation together with
HistoCore SPECTRA ST. This allows an uninterrupted workflow from inserting into the stainer up to
removing the completely stained and coverslipped slides from the coverslipper.
•
In workstation mode, the racks in the HistoCore SPECTRA ST can either be passed directly to the
unload drawer or directly to the HistoCore SPECTRA CV by means of the transfer station and placed
into a reagent vessel for the load drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV. In the Instructions for Use
for the HistoCore SPECTRA ST, the notes on program creation must be observed.
• The time of transfer of the finished and colored rack to the HistoCore SPECTRA CV is then
separately displayed in the process status display of the HistoCore SPECTRA ST
•
After completion of the coverslipping operation, the racks are placed in the unload drawer of the
HistoCore SPECTRA CV.
•
If the racks from HistoCore SPECTRA ST are being transferred to the HistoCore SPECTRA CV, the
load drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV is blocked during this time period and racks cannot be
inserted into the HistoCore SPECTRA CV manually.
•
The brief inspection before the daily startup
P. 92 – 6.5 Brief inspection before starting the
must be carried out.
•
If the network connection between HistoCore SPECTRA ST and HistoCore SPECTRA CV is
interrupted or HistoCore SPECTRA ST is shut down, the HistoCore SPECTRA CV can only be used as
a standalone instrument. Workstation mode is no longer possible in that case. Only manual loading
using the load drawer is still possible then.
•
Both instruments have to be taken out of service separately using their own
Operating switch
after
operation.
•
In order to ensure operation free of interruptions, always leave both instruments switched on and
follow the notes on daily startup (e.g. refilling consumables, removing the cover from the reagent
vessels in the load drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV).
•
Resolve any faults immediately if the HistoCore SPECTRA CV has been stopped. Otherwise, altered
staining results can occur in the HistoCore SPECTRA ST because racks where staining has been
completed can no longer be transferred to the HistoCore SPECTRA CV, creating potential for a
backlog.
•
Stay within earshot of the instruments so that you can respond to the audible signals immediately.
•
In workstation mode it is also possible to place a rack for coverslipping directly in the load drawer
of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV. In doing so, however, the user must ensure that this rack, placed by
hand, is detected by the instrument
