Sample/Reagent Tray
Figure 4-1
This tray can hold up to 60 refrigerated reagents, in 30 tray positions. Each reagent bottle can be single or
double-mouthed. Only one tray position is occupied in methods with two reagents.
The normal operating temperature of the reagent tray is 15ºC below room temperature, i.e. if room
temperature is 25ºC, then the reagent temperature is 10ºC. The minimum temperature of the reagent tray
is 10ºC; refrigeration is interrupted below that limit.
The refrigeration system has a separate power on/off button
The Sample/Reagent tray can hold up to 60 samples in one loading. The software allows the continuous
loading of samples once the requested tests have been finished.
Primary tubes can be used since the capillary of the probe only reaches 1 mm below the sample level.
This increases laboratory biosafety. Cups for pediatric samples can also be used.
