Risk of personal injury and material damage
[W5]
To prevent plastic crash, load the tubes properly. After a plastic crash, sharp
plastic particles could be inside the centrifuge. Be careful when handling
items inside the centrifuge.
WARNING
Hot surface
[W21]
The shaker can reach temperatures of up to 70°C (158°F). Avoid touching it
when it is hot. Carefully remove the samples after a run.
Reagent bottle rack
The reagent bottle rack holds up to six 30 ml QIAcube Connect MDx specific reagent bottles and,
for ease of use and high process safety, fits onto the QIAcube Connect MDx worktable only in the
correct orientation. Liquid is aspirated from the bottles by the pipetting system. A labeling strip
should be attached to the reagent bottle rack. For increased convenience and ease of use, the
labeling strip fits only in the correct orientation on the reagent bottle rack. The use of the labeling
strip ensures that the rack is correctly positioned on the worktable for liquid-level detection.
Note
: Reagent bottles designed for use with the QIAcube Connect MDx and supplied by QIAGEN
must be used. Otherwise, errors may occur during liquid detection.
