To load cassettes, unscrew the top holder of the rack to separate the three layers, as shown below.
Load the cassettes and then it is required to close it completely before loading into the LOGOS. Even in case
the cassettes fill only 1 or 2 layers, it is always necessary to work with the total rack (3 layers) to close the
rack.
HOW TO LOAD 100 CASSETTES IN ONE LAYER OF THE RB 300 RACK.
It is necessary to load cassettes in vertical way to arrive at number 100, they will keep the vertical position by
sustaining themselves. Below are reported the 4 steps that shows a simple way to load the cassettes.
STEP 1: start loading 1 line of cassettes into the center of the rack, from one side to the other,
STEP 2: load a second line of cassettes next to the first,
STEP 3: load a third line of cassettes next to the other two, always from one side to the other side of the
layer,
STEP 4: load the two missing lateral halves with vertical cassettes, to complete the loading (see the circles in
figure below).
It may be necessary to increase the processing times when using the default programs
optimized for the Split rack because the reagent penetration is lower due to the cassettes
organization. In this case contact the application department at:
