ThinPrep™ 5000 Processor with AutoLoader Operator’s Manual
Small Batch Mode
A small batch mode allows for processing of up to 20 samples in a single batch. The sample vials,
filters and pre-labeled slides are loaded directly into the carousel of the processor. Each batch may
contain only one type of specimen (all gynecologic or all non-gynecologic or all UroCyte).
