Revised 3/30/2010 4.3
Cleaning Spilled Mounting Medium
If mounting medium remains attached to the waste
containers and receiving racks, coverslipping may be
affected. Before coverslipping is started, clean the waste
containers and receiving racks or replace them with clean
ones.
CAUTION: If mounting medium remains attached to
the waste container (spatula part) or receiving rack,
the subsequent coverslipping process may be
affected.
Placing Empty Receiving Racks in the
Unloading Area
Up to 12 receiving racks can be placed in the
unloading area (Figure 4-D).
1. Hold each receiving rack so that the slide unloading
area faces the right side (Figure 4-E).
2. A step is provided on the front side of the unloading
area, and there is a recessed area in which each rack
fits. Place the receiving rack in this recessed area
(Figure 4-F). Take note that if the rack is set on the
front side of the recessed area or above the step, the
system sensor will not detect the rack and this
position will not be used.
CAUTION: If the receiving racks placed in the
unloading area have no empty slots, the process will
stop. Be sure to place empty receiving racks.
