Reaction Area
Each reaction plate is barcode labelled to allow the loading of the plate. The reaction plate has to be loaded to
activate its preheating and to allow the dispensing of samples.
Click on the plate to view the exact number of tests dispensed and completed. When the reaction plate is full,
there is no automatic unloading, it is necessary to request by clicking on reaction plate. A reaction plate not used
but unloaded could be loaded again during 2 hours after its first loading.
There is no automatic shutdown (machine remains in ready stage). As long as the reaction plate is on board, it is
ready to be used, until 7 days are passed or plate is full. After 7 days, the plate is automatically unloaded at the
next end of day (first ready or initialized stage after midnight).
Time validity status of reaction plate is available when clicking with the left mouse button on the reaction plate on
the screen. If there is an “xy position error”, the plate is automatically unloaded, and cannot be used any more.
Pipetting sequence does not start if the reaction area temperature is below to 35.7 °C or over 38.5 °C.
Dilution Plate
Each dilution plate is barcode labelled to manage the wells used and the shelf life on board (365 days). Check
dilution plate cleanness during daily maintenance.
