are not left on top of the bottles. See the photo.

28. Follow the procedure below for the tubing set type
being used: QCA or Bottle Caps .
QCA Setup
a. Remove the QCA frame and both kickstands from the Initial Goods kit and unwrap them.
b. Insert the kickstands into the holes in the bottom of the frame and twist counterclockwise
to lock them into place.
c. Place the QCA frame over the reagent pack so that the colors line up (green over green,
yellow over yellow, etc.).
d. Pull one of the five dip tubes (shown at right) out of the accesso-
ries kit.
e. Insert the dip tube into the matching color-coded ring in the QCA frame.
f. When the dip tube touches the bottle seal, push the tube through the seal until the end of
the tube contacts the bottom of the bottle.
CAUTION: Use the color codes as guides when connecting tubing, dip tube
heads, and reagent bottles. If the tubes are not connected correctly,
the instrument will not produce accurate results.
Note: In the following steps, touch only the heads of the long dip tubes, or
use clean gloves to prevent contamination of the dip tubes.
Note: To prevent contaminating the reagents, do
not place the clean dip tubes on the counter.
Note: The colored rings may not sit flush with the top of the frame.
