Inserting the mounting medium bottle
Note
• Before the insertion of a mounting medium bottle in the instrument, the expiration date
(imprint on the packaging and on the bottle label (
→
Fig. 15- 3 ) ) is to be checked. If the expiration
date has been reached or exceeded, the mounting medium may no longer be used. Expired
mounting medium is to be disposed of in accordance with the applicable on-site lab guidelines.
• Opened mounting medium has a storage life of 14 days, within which it must be used up.
We recommend making a note of the use-date on the bottle label.
• Only original mounting medium that has been validated by Leica may be used
( → P. 158 – Consumables) in order to prevent instrument faults.
Warning
Ensure the correct assignment of the cannulas (
→
Fig. 16- 4 ) to the respective mounting medium
bottles to prevent instrument faults. The cannula with the mark 1 is to be inserted into the mounting
medium bottle in position 1 and the cannula with the mark 2 into the mounting medium bottle in
position 2 of the bottle sledge (
→
Fig. 16- 3 ) .
