Reagent Module

The reagent module holds the reagents and creates the fluid path for samples,
calibrators, and wash fluid.
The reagent module consists of the following components:
•

reagent cartridge

• cartridge interface frame
• reagent manifold
• reagent door
Reagent Cartridge
The reagent cartridge contains the following 2 calibrators, each in foil bags:
Calibrator Volume
Slope
200
You use these calibrators, as well as the RCx and wash in the wash cartridge, to
calibrate the system. The electrolytes, pH, glucose, lactate, and gases in the
reagents are NIST traceable.
The following table lists the targeted calibration points for each analyte in the
reagents:
