OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.2 Revised 3/30/2010
Checking the Solvent Volume
If the solvent volume in the loading station, anti-drying
bottle, or dispensing pump reservoir is at or below the
specified level, add solvent.
 Loading station (Figure 4-A)
The loading station can accommodate approximately 1.5 L
of solvent (use of xylene is recommended). The upper and
lower levels are marked inside the loading station, so add
solvent to a level between these marks.
NOTE: To prevent contamination, filter or change the
solvent in the loading station daily.
 Anti-drying bottle (Figure 4-B)
Add solvent to the lower limit mark just below the lid just
covering the bottle.
CAUTION: If solvent runs out, the mounting medium
at the tip of the dispensing nozzle may solidify and
cause closing. If the mounting medium at the tip of
the dispensing nozzle solidifies, coverslipping may
not be performed and the tissues may sustain
significant damage. Solidified mounting medium at
the tip of the dispensing nozzle can also cause the
system to fail. Accordingly, confirm that solvent has
been added to the specified position.
 Dispensing pump reservoir (Figure 4-C)
Remove the lid and add solvent for mounting medium to
the shoulder of the dispensing pump reservoir.
CAUTION: If solvent runs out, the pump that feeds the
mounting medium may clog up and become defective.
If the pump clogs up, coverslipping may not be
performed and the tissues may sustain significant
damage. Accordingly, confirm that solvent has been
added to the specified position.
