DxC/UCTA Racks
Racks defined as DxC/UCTA can be processed through the UCTA or placed directly on
the DxC during independent mode operations. These racks
cannot
be loaded directly
on the DxI SPU.

Use for:
0.5 mL Sample Cup in 5 mL Transfer Tube (PN 979272)

DxC Only Racks
Racks defined as DxC Only are validated to be
used only when DxC tests are
ordered
. These racks are loaded through the UCTA or placed directly on the DxC
during independent mode operations. The UCTA will not sample from the container for
DxI testing since only DxC tests are ordered.
