• The R2 component of two-reagent assay contain the active
ingredient
• R2 dispense and mixing drives the reaction
• When troubleshooting precision concerns, verify R2
mixer alignment and function, R2 reagent probe dispense
and position, and proper installation of R2 reagent syringe
seal tips and O-ring.
• Round bottles may rotate slightly in adapters when the
Reagent Carousel rotates, moving the bar code label and
affecting the ability of the bar code scanner to read the bar
code label.
– Turn the reagent bottle toward the center of the
Reagent Carousel to allow the bar code scanner to
read the bar code label.
– Insert the bottle from the bottom of the adapter so the
bar code label is not scraped.
• Reagent bottles may fit tightly in some adapters. Frequent
reloading and removal of bottles may damage the bar code
label.
