Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the CS-5100 LAS.
The CS-5100 LAS enables the CS-5100 to automatically analyze the samples coming from the tracks of the
facility.
When the CS-5100 detects the sample that was transported by the LAS (Laboratory Automation System) to
the sample aspiration position, the sample arm A of the CS-5100 automatically aspirates and analyzes the
sample.
After the aspiration, the LAS removes the sample automatically from the sample aspiration position.
You can analyze the sample on the CS-5100 sampler and the STAT sample while CS-5100 is connected to
the LAS (for the track sample).
This manual explains the following procedures when operating the CS-5100 using the tracks:
• Specifications
• Basic operations
• Analyzing a sample
• Checking an analysis result
• QC analysis
• System settings
• Customizing the screen displays
• Creating calibration curves
• Troubleshooting
See the CS-5100 Instructions for Use for handling and operation of the CS-5100, such as installation of the
instrument and software configuration that are not explained in this manual.
(LAS-related communication settings are not explained in this manual and the CS-5100 Instructions for Use
as your service representative does these settings.)
In addition, procedures to handle and operate the LAS are not explained in this manual. For details on the
procedures, please contact the LAS manufacturer.
In this manual, “tracks” are referred to as the mechanical lines on the LAS whereby samples are conveyed.
