a. Visually check the system reagents.
b. Perform a prime after replacing any system ancillary reagents.
c. At the Operation Panel, select Prime .
d. Select PRIME 2 , then select Execute .
e. Visually check the ISE reagents.
f. Perform a prime after replacing the ISE Buffer:
(1) At the Menu Panel, select
Maint
. , then select
ISE Operation
.
(2) In the Times box of the Bufferprime area, type the number of prime cycles
you want (
20
is recommended).
(3) Select
Execute
.
g. Visually check the controls and calibrators on the calibrator/control tray.
h. Visually check the wash solutions.
i. Visually check the lamp coolant level.
j. Check the method reagents in the reagent trays:
(1) At the Menu Panel, select
Reagent
, then select
Reagent Inventory
.
(2) At the Reagent Inventory window, determine if any reagents need
replenishing.
(3) Replace any expired reagents.
IMPORTANT
Do not move reagent containers on RTT1 or RTT2 after a barcode scan has been
performed. This can cause erroneous results.
If the operator accidentally switches barcoded reagents (R1 reagent is loaded on
RTT-2 and R2 reagent is loaded on RTT-1) and performs a reagent barcode scan,
and error message displays to alert the operator.
•
Replace barcoded reagent containers as follows:
1. Place the reagent container(s) in any empty position.
2. For multiple reagent methods, place R1 on reagent tray 1, and place R2 on
reagent tray 2.
3. Load multiple containers for each reagent on one tray.
A maximum of 8 reagents can be loaded for the same method.
•
Replace nonbarcoded reagent containers as follows:
1. Place the reagent container(s) in the same position.
2. For multiple reagent methods, place R1 on reagent tray 1, and place R2 on
reagent tray.
You can load more than one container for each reagent. You must specify
the reagent at the System Test List window.
