Loading/Clearing Buffers and Diluents
Introduction
Reaction buffers and sample diluents must be placed on the IMMAGE 800 and their
positions and lot numbers must be entered into the computer.
• Up to 4 bottles of reaction buffer may be placed on the inner section of the reagent
carousel.
• Up to 4 bottles of sample diluent may be placed on the inner section of the sample
carousel.
• For certain chemistries, a buffer is used as sample diluent and is placed on the inner
section of the sample carousel. (Refer to the IMMAGE Immunochemistry Systems
Chemistry Information Manual
.)
Limits
• Only one lot number of each buffer type and one lot number of each diluent type
may be loaded onto the system at one time.
• Multiple bottles of the same lot can be loaded at different positions.
• When multiple positions are defined for the same buffer or diluent, the lot number
will be automatically copied to each position.
