6.4 Preparing the rack
Warning
Be sure to remove the handle before using the racks in any microwave appliance! Microwaves can
destroy the electronics (RFID chip) integrated into the handles, preventing the handles from being
identified by the HistoCore SPECTRA CV and HistoCore SPECTRA ST as a result!
For use in the HistoCore SPECTRA CV there are racks for 30 slides (
→
Fig. 68- 1 ) with compatible,
colored handles ( → Fig. 68- 2 ) ( → P. 153 – 9.1 Optional accessories) .

Warning
• Note that in workstation mode ( → P. 101 – 6.7 Workstation operation) , the HistoCore SPECTRA CV
cannot recognize or process any racks for 5 slides or racks produced by other manufacturers.
• The instrument software detects the manual insertion of racks for 5 slides in the load drawer of the
HistoCore SPECTRA CV, and an information message prompts the user to remove this rack again.
• If racks for 5 slides are used for staining in the HistoCore SPECTRA ST, select the unloader as the
last station in the program.
• Remove the finished stained slides and insert them into a suitable rack for the
HistoCore SPECTRA CV.
The colored handles must be correctly attached prior to using the rack in the instrument (
→
Fig. 68- 2 ) .
Note
Before attaching the colored rack handle, check for any bends or damage. Bent or damaged rack
handles must not be used to prevent instrument faults and specimen impairment.
