i. Check the method reagents in the reagent trays:
(1) At the Menu Panel, select
(2) At the Reagent Inventory window, determine if any reagents need
(3) Replace any expired reagents.
IMPORTANT
Do not move reagent containers on RTT1 or RTT2 after a barcode scan has been
performed. This can cause erroneous results.
If the operator accidentally switches barcoded reagents (R1 reagent is loaded on
RTT-2 and R2 reagent is loaded on RTT-1) and performs a reagent barcode scan,
and error message displays to alert the operator.
j. Replace barcoded reagent containers as follows:
1. Place the reagent container(s) in any empty position.
2. For multiple reagent methods, place R1 on reagent tray 1, and place R2 on
3. Load multiple containers for each reagent on one tray.
• Replace nonbarcoded reagent containers as follows:
1. Place the reagent container(s) in the same position.
2. For multiple reagent methods, place R1 on reagent tray 1, and place R2 on
