Reagents installation
Note: since november 2015 a 5 liter bottle (including a specific level sensor) is delivered for storage of Deionized water.
Use only the Mechatronics bulk reagent cubitainers on the Interrliner. For storage of deionized water, a plastic 5l bottle is delivered (including a specific level sensor and adapter).
- Open the swing door and place the containers on the turntable.
- Remove the cubitainer screw caps and pull the necks of the bottle packs out of the cardboard box.
- Install the level sensors and spacers.
- Add new reagent information in the software.
WARNING: Wrongly placed pickup tubes causes incorrect results or instrument malfunction. Make sure to place the appropriate level sensors in the cubitainers by checking the colored labels/colored tubes matching the color codes on the cubitainers.
The sensors and the reagents have the following color codes:
