Important
The inventory scan will only enable detection of the liquid level of open and
recognized vessels.
Important
These checks use 1500 µl and 200 µl filter-tips. If insufficient tips are available
or if one of the tip types is missing, the inventory scan will be canceled and
queued sample batches cannot be started.
Partial inventory scan
If you need to repeat an inventory scan for the “Reagents and Consumables” drawer (e.g., if a
change has been made on the worktable), you can perform a partial inventory scan.
8.6.2 Inventory scan of the “Waste” drawer
The inventory scan of the “Waste” drawer consists of a laser scan. It does not perform 2D bar
code scans, liquid-level detection, or checks of the liquid waste container. It is therefore important
that the user checks the liquid waste container and empties it before starting a batch.
Laser scan

The tip park station slot is scanned. This checks that the tip park station is mounted.

The tip chute slot is scanned. This checks that the tip chute is installed.

The unit box slots are scanned. First, each of the 4 unit box slots is scanned to detect whether
a unit box is in the slot. Afterwards, the content of each box is determined (e.g., amount and
type of consumables in each box).
