The reagent racks are loaded in the refrigerated compartment.
The reagent cartridges are placed on racks specific to each field.
An Immunoassay reagent rack is designed to hold a cartridge containing all the reagents needed for the test.
!
For cartridge handling, refer to the reagent instructions for use (IFU).
Magnetic particles in certain Immunoassay cartridges require a particular mixing step before
loading the cartridge into the rack. Follow the instructions for mixing described in the reagent
instructions for use.
Biochemistry reagents are supplied in the form of individual reagent bottles.
Biochemistry reagent racks are designed to contain either 6 x 20 mL bottles or 3 x 50 mL bottles.
Rack 3 x 50 ml
Rack 6 x 20 ml
If the reagents have been stored on-board and the analyser has been put into standby mode, the identification
of these reagents will be restored upon start up.
Reagent cartridges can also be installed during the run cycle.
The magnetic particle vial of Immunoassay cartridges is continuously stirred when in the reagent compartment.
The pictogram below appears on the reagent cover, and describes the precautions to be taken when loading a
