Computer Workstation
The workstation (including the computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, cart, UPS, hand-
held barcode scanner, and all associated cables) is provided and installed by Novartis
Diagnostics.
The workstation is equipped with a CD-RW drive that can be used for archiving and/or backing
up log files and database information. This CD-RW drive allows repeated cycles of recording
onto a single compact disk. Only media designated as CD-RW media is supported by the CD-
RW drive. CD-R media cannot be used. The CD-RW media must be formatted prior to use on
the PROCLEIX
®
TIGRIS System. Contact Novartis Diagnostics Technical Service for information
about formatting CD-RWs.
Fluids Drawer
The Fluids Drawer, located in the middle of the Lower Bay, contains six fluids that are used
as part of the assay process, as well as a system fluid with an anti-microbial agent, which is
used as the hydraulic force to aspirate and dispense reagents and samples and rinse the
reagent pipettor arms. It also contains the tiplet waste container and a hand-held barcode
scanner.
