Reagents replacement

The Starrsed TL is equipped with the genuine Mechatronics bulk reagent cubitainers with level sensors. Each container has a specific position, see Reagent location label.

To replace the bulk reagent cubitainers:

Open cabinet.
Remove level sensors and spacers from the empty cubitainer.
Remove the container 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 containers by checking the colored labels/colored tubes matching the color codes on the containers.

21555 Reagent placement V1

The tubes and the reagents have the following color codes:

Reagent	Color code
Starrsed Rinse solution	Green
Starrsed Diluent	Grey
De-ionized water	Blue
Starrsed Disinfectant	White

5. Check if reagent tubing is not pinched.

6. Close cabinet.

7. Enter new reagent information, see Reagents screen.

Note:
Deionized water
If the deionized water comes up with an alarm with a filled container, add one or two drops of Starrsed Diluent to the deionized water to avoid reagent alarm.
Starrsed Diluent
The solution should be discarded if it becomes turbid.
If the Diluent does become turbid, replace the Diluent container.

After each reagents change, the fluid system must be primed:

Select Maintenance -> Prime / Clean.
Perform the applicable prime step to fill the relevant tubes with reagent and remove air.
