Defining customized kit bar codes
It is possible to use customized kit bar codes. Validation of the lot number and expiration date is
performed by QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments and is tracked in the result file. The bar code must
have the following format (e.g.,
*123456;20151231
).

Expiration date
It is possible to use other kit bar codes. After entering the bar code, validation of the lot number
and expiration date is not performed. The bar code is tracked in the result file.
Loading disposable filter-tips
Up to 6 tip racks can be placed in the “Eluate and Reagents” drawer and the “Assays” drawer
(i.e., a total of 12 tip racks). Tip rack position, tip type, and number of tips are detected during
the inventory scan. The number of tips required varies depending on the assay(s) being run.
Three different types of disposable filter-tips can be used on the QIAsymphony AS — 50 µl,
200 µl, and 1500 µl. Tip information is displayed on the right side of the
Loading Information
screen. For each tip type, the number of required, available, and missing tips is listed.
We recommend that you load more tips than the actual number of required tips calculated by the
software. This is because filter-tip consumption can be affected by some processes on the
QIAsymphony AS (e.g., liquid-level detection).
