KleeYa - User Manual - Version 2 3-47
• Air bubble formation or clotting
Air bubble formation or clotting of the samples must be avoided as these may
alter the liquid detection functionality and hence cause unreliable results. To
avoid clots, the samples should be treated accordingly (e.g. centrifuged) prior
to the use in the KleeYa instrument.
• Sample volume
Check that the sample volume is sufficient to run the required amount of tests
(as described in the instructions for use of the used kits).
LOADING
1. Check all samples for air bubbles before testing.
Remove existing air bubbles!
2. Load all (test) tubes (with samples, calibrators, or controls) into the sample
rack.
Notice: Do not load more than two recalibrator tubes with barcodes
containing mastercurve information on the same rack.
Notice: Pay attention to the correct sample rack type!
Ensure that the barcode labels face towards the left (open side of the sample
rack).
3. Open the sample/Anchor® Tips loading bay flap.
4. Tap on the desired lane on the touch screen.
5. Wait until the camera has focused on the desired loading lane and the
corresponding LED flashes slowly.
6. Push the sample rack carefully into the desired lane to avoid tipping over and
spilling of tubes and press it against the pressure of the spring, until it engages
with an audible click.
• While the sample rack is introduced in the lane, the barcodes of the
(test) tubes are read automatically.
• Barcodes that have not been read automatically can be entered
manually, see chapter 3.4.1.3 on page 3-53 .
• If the rack has been inserted properly, the LED goes off for this position,
and starts flashing at the next free position that can be loaded.
