NOTE:
Do not set whole blood samples in the even-numbered ports of the hemolysis pair rack to avoid seriously
degrading the column. If whole blood is measured in these ports, it is recommended to replace the column with
a new one.
NOTE:
Load sample racks onto the sampler so that they do not fall over. Spilled sample may damage the instrument.

NOTE:
One-way transportation (initial setting):
Up to 5 sample racks can be loaded onto the loading side
of the sampler. See “One-way transportation” in “6.2.
Glossary” on page 6-12.
Loop transportation:
Five sample racks can be loaded onto each of the
loading and unloading sides of the sampler. Set the start
rack as the first rack to be measured on the loading side.
See “Loop transportation” in “6.2. Glossary” on page
6-13.
Additional sample racks can be loaded onto the sampler while measurement is in progress.
Do not add sample racks or push the racks by hand while the sampler is operating. Touching
racks during transportation may result in injury, damage to the piercing nozzle, or incorrect
reading of sample IDs and sample rack types.
