based on the size of the collection tubes. To change the sample arm, see Section 5.4
Replace sample arm, on page 73.
Follow the steps below to load the reagents and syringes, and load the collection tubes.
Step Action
1 Load the reagents into the syringes following your internally validated
p
r
ocedure. Make sure there are no air bubbles at the tip of the syringes.
2 Remove any air bubbles at the tip of the syringes, making sure the fluid
meniscus at the tip of the syringe is as flat as possible to prevent pre-mixing
of the fluids when loading the syringes.
Tip:
To prevent excess fluid from collecting in the Luer fitting, hold a lint-free labo-
ratory tissue near the tip of the syringe when expelling air bubbles.
3 Rotate the rotating block upwards so that the underside of the cartridge is
vi
sible.
