To insert the slide magazine:
1. Press the insert/eject magazine button to open the stacker cover.
2. Insert the slide magazine, aligning the slot on the slide magazine’s side
to join with the rail profile inside the Microarray Scanner. The lowering
of the slide magazine is interrupted by a mechanical hold point. Apply
gentle pressure to complete insertion. When fully lowered, the slide
magazine’s handle will project slightly above the compartment.
3.
Press the insert/eject magazine button to close the stacker cover. The
initialization process starts, checking the slide magazine to determine
which slots are occupied.
STOP
Do not start the instrument software during the initialization process
that the Microarray Scanner performs after slide magazine insertion.
Doing so may cause the software to shut down unexpectedly.
To remove the slide magazine:
1. Press the insert/eject magazine button to open the stacker cover.
2. Wait for the slide magazine to eject from the stacker unit.
3. Remove the slide magazine and press the insert/eject magazine button
to close the stacker cover.
Slide Mishandling
Slides are prone to damage by mishandling resulting from them slipping out
of or being incorrectly placed into the slide magazine (Figure 11). Avoid
stacking or piling slides on each other. Improper slide handling and
insertion into the slide magazine could lead to array damage, data loss, and
possibly instrument damage.
