high specimen quality and helps to reduce reagent consumption.
The concentrations of all ethanols and isopropanols located in the processor are measured and
displayed in the REAGENT STATUS submenu.

matically and when the concentration falls below a threshold value a message is displaying
indicating that it is time to change the used ethanol. When the used ethanol is replaced,
the fresh ethanol added to the system is always undiluted (100 %) ethanol. This means that
time-consuming dilution and the errors that can occur during that process, as well as contact
(inhalation!) with the solvents are entirely avoided.
