one kit lot is to be used, the new kit lot number can be scanned when the first cartridge and Elution Tube from
the new kit are added to the cartridge rack.
Note:
Kit lot numbers will automatically advance to the next sample position. If a new kit lot number is used,
delete the incorrect lot information and scan the correct information or enter manually.
