After starting the measurement the sample door rotates and takes the sample tube inside the ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer.
This is a key safety feature of the ‘Abacus 5’ and protects the operator from the sample needle during routine
operation. The Start button changes color to red to indicate that the system is busy processing the sample. The
sample is aspirated inside the analyzer and returned to the operator when the sampling process is complete. As soon
as the measurement results are available the result screen is displayed. See section 1 for more information about the
results screen.
