Figure 12.7: Tube Racks
NOTE: The bar coded rack ID label is read when the tube in the
first position is moved to the aspirate station. If there is no bar
code label on the rack or the label is unreadable, the Sample
Loader stops and the message Auto-Sampler alarm condition
<u>; see DIAG is displayed on the bulletin line. Refer to
Chapter10, Troubleshooting. Bar coded rack ID labels on tube
racks are mandatory for proper Sample Loader operation. They
must be placed on racks between tube positions 1 and 2, even if
bar code labels on samples are not used. For more information,
refer to Chapter 2, Installation.
The bar coded rack ID label identifies each rack by number and is read
by the bar code reader. The system tracks the rack number and tube
position for each sample placed in the rack.
