1.
Prime Pipettes
, activates pump A.
Rinse solution
must flow through the pipette.
2.
Prime Needle/nozzle
, activates pump B. Liquid must flush through the needle assembly.
3.
Prime Diluter
, activates the diluter prime cycle. Diluter system must be filled with diluent and free of air
bubbles.
Diluter prime cycle is executed once. In order to fully prime the system it will be necessary to perform this
step several times. (One cycle is 5 strokes of the Diluter)
4.
Prime Nozzle with water
, activates the fill nozzle water valve. De-ionized water must flow through the tube
connected to the fill nozzle cap.
5.
Prime Waste system
, activates the disinfectant valve. Disinfectant must flow through the small tube
connected to the pipette wash station.
When the Interrliner has been idle for more than eight hours, there might be some backflow of reagents due
to gravity. Prime all tubing before sampling by using the function:
▪
Prime all units
All priming functions are sequentially performed one time.
6.2 - Liquid levels sensors
The Interrliner has liquid level sensors. When the level sensor alarm appears, replace reagent as soon as
possible.
6.3 - Checks during operation
▪ Perform regularly visual checks for air bubbles in the sample pipettes, see Air bubbles .
▪ Check regularly the ESR statistics in the software for any increase in ESR errors, haziness, dilution
errors or bubbles on top warnings, see ESR Statistics screens.
In case of a considerable number of pipettes with air bubbles:
▪ Perform the necessary maintenance or contact the service representative.
Do not open the safety cover during sampling! Some components are moving to another
position before operation finally stops and sample mode is automatically switched OFF.
Switch "
Sample mode
" always OFF before opening the cover for any reason.
6.4 - Fill procedure
The protective hood must be closed to prevent injuries from the moving parts of the needle/diluter unit.
Select the tab
Sample
and press the Sample mode button.
6.5 - Manual sampling
If LIMS communication is active: add sample identification in the LIMS.
The manual input can be feeded with one rack at a time.
