Port guide (gray) Attach to a sample tube and
pair it with the sample cup
when setting in the rack.
When using sample tubes for normal measurements, make sure the caps are on the tubes
tightly. If a tube is not capped, cap it with a resealable cap. Performing measurements with
uncapped tubes may cause sample to splatter inside the instrument while spinning, possibly
jeopardizing subsequent measurements. It may also cause infection to the user or other
individuals by pathogenic microbes.
NOTE:
For some sample types and measurement types, either sample tube or sample cup should be used.
Confirm the required sample container in “Prepare:” of the specific measurement procedure. Use the
correct sample container.
Clean the sample racks and port guides if they get dirty. Use of these parts with dirt adhered may cause
insufficient sample stirring. Moreover, dirt may transfer to barcode labels on the sample tubes, preventing
the instrument from correctly reading the barcode.
