9. If the system displays an error screen, wait for the inventory process to finish, fix the
error(s) and click Inventory again.
When the system finishes validating the AR inventory, the Load Assay Reagents
window confirms that the barcodes are valid.
10. If the matched set has been used before, the system recognizes them and does not ask
for a TCR/IC reconstitution date. Skip to step 13.
11. If the ARs have never been loaded on the system, it groups them into a matched set. It
then prompts the operator to scan the Internal Control barcode and enter the
reconstitution date for the Internal Control.
12. By default, the screen displays the current date as the reconstitution date when the box is
checked. If the TCR has been reconstituted with Internal Control on a prior date, enter that
date as the reconstitution date by clicking the arrow to the right of the date box and
selecting the correct date.
13. Click Continue.
The system performs level-sensing on each reagent. If the pipettor senses a level other
than what is expected, the system displays an error message.
When the system confirms that the ARs are valid, it displays a confirmation window.
14. Click Done.
The System updates the Upper Bay Inventory
panel to show the available number of
tests and the on-board expiration date for each quadrant of ARs in the AR Carousel.
Because the system consumes pipette tips and System Fluid during AR inventory, the
Tips count and test capacity for the System Fluid inventory are also updated after AR
inventory.
Changing the Reagent Quadrant
If multiple quadrants of ARs are loaded, the system automatically chooses a quadrant of ARs
that contains enough tests for the worklist and has the earliest expiration date. The default
choice can be overridden after the worklist is queued, but before sample pipetting begins.
1. On the Queued Worklists
grid, select the worklist that contains AR quadrants to be
changed.
2. Click Change Reagent Quadrant….
A Change Reagent Quadrant
window opens. This window displays the worklist’s ID, the
assay being run, the number of samples on the worklist, the worklist type (always
“Carousel”), and a drop-down list of all AR quadrants with enough reagents to run the
specified worklist.
3. Select the new quadrant of ARs from the Quadrant drop-down list.
4. Click OK.
The Queued Worklists
grid updates to show the new AR quadrant.
Note: A worklist can only use one set of ARs. In other words, the AR quadrant cannot be
switched in the middle of assay processing.
