Important
Although you can leave this screen without manually assigning the positions
labeled
Unknown IC , be sure to assign all required internal controls before
starting a run; otherwise the run cannot be started.
Unloading internal controls
Internal controls in a tube carrier can be removed from the QIAsymphony SP when the carrier slot
is unlocked.

If batches are running and you need to load additional internal controls, press the
IC
button to
unlock the carrier “Slot A”.

If the QIAsymphony SP does not need to access the tube carrier in “Slot A”, the internal
controls can be unloaded.

Remove the carrier with internal controls from “Slot A” by gently sliding it out of the “Sample”
drawer.
The status of the internal controls changes from LOADED to ON HOLD . The QIAsymphony SP will
retain the information about the internal controls provided earlier.
Under the described conditions, ON HOLD would be visible where LOADED appears in the image
above.
Loading internal controls during a run
After unloading the tube carrier containing the internal control, the tube carrier containing a new
internal control has to be inserted again. Define internal control(s) as described in
Section 8.5.1.6.
For more information, refer to Section 2.20.4, “Loading internal controls during a run”, of the
QIAsymphony SP/AS User Manual — Operating the QIAsymphony SP .
