2.1.4 Sample Containers and Sample Racks
Sample Containers
Use the sample tubes that comply with the standards shown below. To have the built-in barcode
reader read barcodes, place the labels in the correct position on the tubes.
Sample Racks
Four types of sample racks are available for use with the instrument. These racks can be identified
by the markers on the front.
■ Item racks
The item racks are mainly used for normal measurement, and allow the instrument to automatically
pick up the appropriate type of test strips for these racks from one of the two feeders.
Each item rack supplied with the instrument has a different rack ID (#01 to #10). For successful
use of the item racks, assign one of the two feeders to each rack ID before testing samples. For
example, you may assign feeder 1 to item racks #01 to #05, and feeder 2 to #06 to #10. For detailed
instructions, see “2.3.4 Assigning the Type of Test Strips to the Item Racks” on page 2-19.
For sample preparation, load samples into the item rack assigned to the feeder that contains the test
strips to apply. When detecting the item rack, the instrument automatically ejects the correct test
strips from the feeder. This saves you the trouble of manually exchanging test strips.
The rack IDs are factory-set to “ ” on the [Rack assignment for test strip] screen which means that
the test strips in the main feeder are used. Always select “ ” in a two-way communication system
where the type of test strips is specified by the host.
