■ STAT and control rack
The STAT and control rack is dedicated to STAT measurement and control measurement.
STAT measurement requires samples to be loaded into ports 1 to 7, and control measurement
requires controls to be loaded into ports 8 to 10.
■ Start rack
When the rack transportation method is set to “loop”, place the start rack at the beginning of a
batch, and items racks (or normal racks) in the 2
nd
to 10
th
positions. The start rack has a black label
that informs the instrument of the beginning and end of the batch to avoid measuring the same
sample twice. In other words, when the racks are completely circulated in the sampler and the start
rack returns to the initial position, the instrument detects the black label and automatically stops
measurement.
■ Normal rack
The separately sold normal racks can also be used for normal measurement. These racks do not
have rack IDs. So, samples in the normal racks are always measured with the test strips from the
main feeder.
