Important
The number of individual tips is displayed, and not the number of tip racks.
Important
The number of available tips is calculated by the software based on the previous
run and inventory scan. If the number of available tips does not correspond with
the number of required tips, a message will appear during the inventory scan.
To load a disposable filter-tip rack, follow the steps below.
1. If not already open, open the “Eluate and Reagents” and/or the “Assays” drawer.
2. Hold the tip rack with 2 fingers, using the grips.
3. Gently squeeze the tip rack and place it into a tip rack slot.
Important
Ensure that the tip racks are properly seated in the tip rack slot so that the tip
racks will be identified during the inventory scan.
12.3.3 Checking cooling temperatures
Cooling temperatures are shown in an overview screen.
Press the Cooling button in the Loading information screen. The Temperature Status screen
appears.
The QIAsymphony AS automatically starts cooling after the adapters have been loaded virtually
on the touchscreen. The current temperature of the cooling positions is updated in real time. If the
current temperature is outside the target temperature, the slot will appear yellow. If the current
temperature is within the target temperature the slot will appear green.
The target temperature is defined in the assay definition and cannot be changed using the
touchscreen.
The cooling settings for “Sample”, “Reagents”, and “Assay” slots can be switched on, if the rack
is not yet loaded (precooling).
Important
The temperature of the cooling positions throughout an assay run is documented
in the result file.
