Load Reagents
Rules for loading reagent cartridges:
• R1 reagents must always reside in Reagent Supply Center 1.
• R2 reagents must always reside in Reagent Supply Center 2.
• AEROSET System assays are divided into two distinct categories
(A-Line and B-Line) to allow the System to process tests at the
fastest possible throughput.
– A-Line Tests—reagents always reside in segments A, B,
or C.
– B-Line Tests—reagents always reside in segment D
• New cartridges should always be loaded in a higher numbered
position than cartridges of the same reagent already onboard.
• The System always aspirates first from the cartridge in the lowest
numbered position.
• For assays using two reagent cartridges, the R1/R2 pair must be
placed onboard at the same time. Refer to the assay-specific
Package Inserts for specific reagent handling instructions.
• After loading reagents, a reagent scan must be performed to update
the inventory
