Loading UDR Reagent Cartridges
Introduction
The UDR reagent cartridges must be loaded before performing a run.
Description of Cartridge
The UDR cartridge provided by Beckman Coulter contains the following information:
• Cartridge lot number
• Cartridge serial number.
Limits
• Twelve cartridges may be loaded in the reagents carousel at one time.
• Each UDR cartridge has a set number of 300 tests. When the 300 tests count down
to zero, a new UDR serial number and/or cartridge lot number must be defined and
loaded.
• When the cartridge is level sensed as empty, but more tests are available on the
Reagent/Calibration Status screen, the UDR cartridge may be refilled and reused
until the tests remaining is zero.
