Removing a Detection Cartridge
It is not necessary to remove a detection cartridge when it is not in use. You can, however,
remove a detection cartridge to make room for other detection cartridges or when the
instrument is being packed for shipping. After a detection cartridge is removed, it should be
stored in its detection cartridge box in a dry, dust-free, controlled environment.
To remove a detection cartridge from the instrument:
1. Press the TOP READ button on the front panel to open the top detection cartridge
drawer, or press the BOTTOM READ button on the front panel to open the bottom
detection cartridge drawer.
