Reagents screen

When there is a sensor alarm, an alarm indicator is shown in the tab Reagents. The alarm status of the reagents and separator are shown in this screen. An empty container is marked by a flashing red to yellow mark.
When the reagent status screen is active, the bottle audio alarm is switched off.
Reagent information is shown in the little text boxes. To input new reagent information when reagent container is replaced, click on the appropriate text box.

Note: When the expire date is exceeded the text box will flash red.

The software checks the reagent status before starting a new rack. If a level alarm is ON, it will not process the new rack. If an alarm comes ON during a rack, it will finish to aspirate that rack (10 samples max.). Washing dirty pipettes always continues, as to avoid that the samples are left in the pipettes.

Reagents alarm is also set when the expire date of the reagent is exceeded or opened more than three months. The message Not allowed now! See Reagents! appears. Processing of new samples is stopped. A log is available for all reagents and can be accessed by clicking on Display reagent history.
