Hardware overview
Reagent disk ID You can use up to eight different reagent disks on one Cedex Bio instrument. Each
reagent disk is equipped with numbered tabs. For automatic disk identification by the
instrument, one—and only one—of these tabs is removed. The number of this
removed tab is the disk ID. When you label the disk, make sure that the number on
the label corresponds to that of the removed tab.
Reagent disk container
For storage outside the instrument, the reagent disk is placed in a container. This
reduces evaporation of reagents and prevents their contamination.
Reagent cooler
The reagent cooler holds the reagent disk with its reagent bottles. The temperature in
the cooler is kept within the range of 6 to 10°C.
