Washings to avoid Interference:
Extra wash cycles of the probe can be programmed to prevent
interference between reagents of different methods. This extra wash can be up to 2.
Select from the general list of methods, the method that is being interfered. Select the
Advanced tab
,
under
Washings to avoid interference
column, the interfering method. Then click in the number field to
the right of the method name, and enter the extra number of washes. Press the
Enter
key.
Washings to avoid self-interference:
Self-interference washings can be added.
If the method that presents self-interference is a single reagent method, the extra wash of the probe will
be added between consecutive dispensing of the reagent. For example, if calcium presents self-
interferences, and two calcium tests are performed in a row, the extra washing will be between both
tests. (The washing solution for this extra washing is taken from the 10 liters container by the liquid
diaphragm pump)
If the method that presents self-interference is a double reagent method, an extra wash of the probe will
be added between the dispensing of both reagents, and between consecutive methods (as in the
previous example). (The washing solution for this extra washing is also taken from the 10 liters container
by the liquid diaphragm pump)
This extra wash can be up to 2.
Self-Inference Wash Solution:
if a different solution from the one in the containers wants to be used,
write a solution name, this solution name will now appear available in the drop down lists from the
reagents tray, the reagent tray position has to be programmed for this solution.
Self-Inference Wash Time:
write a number in seconds that the wash solution will be inside the probe.
