Leica CV5030 - Robotic Coverslipper
Starting the coverslipping process
Pressing the
START
key:
•
The unit now moves the bath to the rear and then begins searching
the first slide.
•
The output rack is positioned.
•
Slides are sequentially coverslipped and moved to sequential posi-
tions of the output rack (from top to bottom).
The coverslipping process ends after the last slide with an au-
dible signal and the note “FINISHED” (viewable for several sec-
onds) on the display.
•
The bath is now ready for removal of the empty input rack.
•
Output racks remain positioned on the next empty slot.
•
The display is erased after a few seconds (READY mode).
•
Place the dispensing valve in the pause position (prime container) to
prevent the nozzle from drying up. It does
not
have to be performed
after every rack – at the end of the working day or after extended
non-operating times.
•
The empty input rack can be removed from the bath and filled for the
next cycle or replaced by a full magazine (do not forget to close the
door).
•
If all or individual output racks must be removed, use the LIFT key to
raise the racks to the extraction position. (A removal is not neces-
sary if the remaining capacity is sufficient for the next coverslipping
cycle.)
If the output racks are raised to the extraction position using the
LIFT key, all slides must be removed.
