3.4.2 LOAD OR UNLOAD REAGENTS
The reagent loading bay is used for loading reagents located in Reagent Cartridges
into the instrument by means of so-called reagent racks. By means of the pipettor,
the reagents can then be distributed in the course of a test run.
For positive reagent identification, the reagent loading bay is provided with a RFID
label system. By means of this RFID label system, the RFID label, on the Reagent
Cartridges can be read and used for identification. In addition, the system can read
and write more information about the reagent (e.g. liquid level, expiration date).
The reagent loading bay supports loading of up to 8 reagent racks with 1 or 2
Reagent Cartridges on individual lanes.
Improper loading or unloading of reagent racks
Improperly loaded or unloaded reagent racks can produce erroneous results due to
incorrect pipetting activities.
• Only load and unload reagent racks if you are explicitly requested to do so.
• Only load and unload reagent racks on the specified lanes.
• Check the correct transfer or input of all reagent and sample names.
Do always push in the reagent racks into the reagent loading bay with the handle or
pull it out again with the handle.
Never load more than one reagent rack at the same time! For proper RFID label
identification the reagent racks must be loaded one after the other.
