Monitoring Processing
The operator can use two windows to monitor the progress of assay processing.
The Assay Processing Status box of the Run Manager screen lists the current status and
estimated completion time for each worklist in the queue.
The Sample Pipetting Status box displays an image of the Sample Carousel. Each rack position
in the carousel is represented by a color-code and a symbol, signifying the status of the sample
rack.

Unloading Sample Racks
When a rack turns green in the Sample Pipetting Status window, it has completed pipetting and
can be unloaded. Racks can be unloaded any time the Unload Racks button is enabled.
Note: To save time, processed sample racks may also be unloaded at the same time as
new racks are being loaded using the Load Racks... button (see "Loading Sample Racks"
on page 3-5).
1. To unload completed racks, click Unload Racks in the Sample Pipetting Status box.
The Sample Carousel rotates so that the completed racks are directly behind the
Sample Door. The Sample Door unlocks, and an Unload Racks window opens.
2. Lift open the Sample Door.
3. Remove the completed sample rack from the Sample Carousel, and place it on an
absorbent pad on a clean work surface.
Caution: Always handle specimens, calibrators, and PROCLEIX
cautiously and keep sample racks upright to prevent splashing or spilling.
4. Close the Sample Door.
5. To unload more than three completed sample racks, click Next and repeat steps 2–5.
6. Click Done.
The Sample Carousel rotates, and the Sample Barcode Scanner scans the rack
positions to verify that the racks have been unloaded.
Note: After unloading racks, store specimens as specified in the appropriate
PROCLEIX Assay package insert.
7. Clean sample racks before re-using them. See Volume II, Maintenance.
