During this process, MD-Stainer can identify and inform about the following possible issues
during programming by means of different colors:
White - Not used.
There is no techniques that need this reagent.
Yellow - Insufficient.
Insufficient number of tests.
Pink - Missing reagent.
The system did not detect this reagent in the rack.
Red – Expired.
It expired.
In any case, the technician must
replace the expired reagents, place the missing ones or with
insufficient number of tests
and repeat the scanning process.
Once all the scanned reagents are shown in green, everything is ready to start the process.
Both for automatic and semiautomatic FISH, the user must proceed with all the scanning
process of reagents as described above. The only difference between both processes
(Automatic and Semiautomatic) is the requirement of placing the ready-to-use probe in the
reagents rack for the automatic FISH, since for the Semiautomatic FISH, the probe is dispensed
manually by the user, being the user who must only assign manually and fictitiously in the
reagent “
Probe
” to perform the hybridization protocol.

START STAINING PROCESS
There are two options to start the process:
1.
Start staining process
. In this case, the process will start immediately.
2.
Delay Start
. It allows delay the start. The user must enter the date and time the process must
end in the system. (important to consider the values AM/PM).
