When the AEROSET Assay/Configuration Disks are loaded,
A and B-Line definition is complete. Throughput is maximized
while minimizing the possibility of reagent carryover when
defining the A and B-Line assays.
If an operator needs to change the assay configuration and
move an A-Line assay to the B-Line (or B to A) to improve
throughput, they must consider how this would affect the
reagent carryover (SmartWash).
Things to consider:
1. When an assay is defined in the B-Line, the SmartWash
page only allows selection of a reagent probe wash with
other assays in the B-Line. These reagent probe washes are
defined for the Abbott assays. If the assay is moved to the
A-Line, the assay may be affected by carryover from an
assay in the A-Line. Refer to the assay-specific or Abbott
Clinical Chemistry Package Inserts and the following
table to define any probe washes needed for A-Line and
B-Line assays.
2. Some assays should not be configured for the same line; it
is not possible to ensure sufficient washing to eliminate
reagent carryover.
The following assays should not be positioned on the
same line as Lipase:
• Calcium
• Urine Calcium
• Cholesterol
• CO
2
• Triglyceride
• Uric Acid
• MULTIGENT
