Spin only one pair
of cassettes with
sample tubes
during each spin
cycle
Router Software
The Router software defines the route of a sample tube on the track and
balances the workload among instruments that perform the same tests.
The Router software controls the divert gates and the interface gates. For
more information on the Router software, refer to the ADVIA Automation
Solutions Operator's Guide.
Operating Sequence
The following sequence describe the sample routing for a sample with a
Centrifuge pre test. For information on supported sample tube types, see
Appendix C.
CAUTION
Do not load a capped tube at an SIQ or manual gate for a sample
previously processed at a cap-off instrument. Loading a capped tube
previously processed at a cap-off instrument could lead to a probe crash.
Use care to never route a capped tube to a cap-off instrument.
CAUTION
With the exception of Hematology samples, do not load a capped tube at
an SIQ or manual gate for a sample that has the same Sample ID (SID) as
a previous sample. Loading a capped tube that has the same SID as a
sample previously processed at a cap-off instrument could lead to a probe
crash. Use care to never route a capped tube to a cap-off instrument.

Centrifuge Module Interface Operating Instructions
Description
Temperature (C) Specifies the internal temperature
of the Hettich unit. The range is
10° to 40°C with the default value of 25°C.
Select this checkbox to use 2 cassettes for processing
samples rather than 4 cassettes. (Four cassettes load
in the Hettich unit for processing, however only 2
cassettes have samples, the remaining 2 cassettes
loaded in the Hettich unit are empty.)
Note Do not exceed the recommended settings for
centrifugation specified in the data sheets supplied
by the tube manufacturer.
