Sample Loader
Sample Loader Operation
Section 13
6. When a tube has been properly mixed, it moves to the Vent/Aspiration
Station (Station 3).
a. When the Needle begins to move down, the Spinning Assembly moves
down to (a) position the tube so that the stopper is pierced at or near the
center, and to (b) rotate the tube so that the bar code can be read.
b. The needle stops moving while the bar code label is being read.
c. After the label is read, the needle continues moving down. It pierces the
stopper and moves to the bottom of the tube.
d. The Sample Loader signals the Analyzer to vent the tube and aspirate the
sample.
e. The sample is pulled into the Shear Valve by vacuum action. The
Analyzer then begins a normal count cycle.
7. When an empty space is detected by both Mixing Station sensors, the rack
automatically advances without engaging the Mixer. When an empty space is
detected by the sensor on the Tower, the Needle and Spinner are not engaged
as the rack advances. The Mixing Assembly and Tower Assembly will not be
engaged until a tube is sensed at either Mixing Station.
NOTE:
The Instrument operates most efficiently when tubes in a rack are
adjacent to one another. Generally, spacing between sample tubes
will have an impact on overall throughput. If there are numerous
empty spaces, then throughput time may be significantly slowed.
8. After the sample is aspirated, the Needle is retracted and washed. As the
Needle moves up, the Spinning Assembly also retracts.
9. Steps 4-8 are repeated until all tubes in the rack have been processed.
10. Regardless of how many tubes are in a rack, when the rack has moved
completely under the Tower Cover, the second rack is moved into position on
the right side of the Cover in preparation for sample processing.
11. When all tubes in the last rack have been processed:
a. The Sample Loader automatically stops and emits beeps to alert the
operator that processing is completed
b. The message
Loader Status 143: samples completed
is
displayed in the bulletin line when the rack has traversed completely to
the unload side.
c. The
[STOP LOADER]
key toggles to
[START LOADER].
d. The Sample Loader is re-initialized.
