Beckman Coulter AutoMate 2500 Series Instructions For Use Manual page 95

Caution
Fully extend drawers before accessing racks to prevent collision with moving
components.
Note
Fully extend drawers before closing. A sensor detects the drawer extension. If the
drawer is not completely extended, the running lights remain on. Try again.
Note
Do not close the drawer too fast. If the drawer is closed too fast, the running lights
remain on.
Note
The rack reader scans MTP bar code labels after the AutoMate system is initialized.
Handling MTPs
Handling MTPs
MTPs are handled like normal distribution racks.
Processing unfinished MTPs
Unfinished MTPs are handled differently when placed in the system for a second run.
1. If you interrupt processing on an MTP and want to continue the next day, the LIS
recognizes this MTP.
2. The LIS confirms the MTP ID and position.
3. Positions that are filled are marked yellow on screen.
4. The LIS informs the AutoMate system which position to continue dispensing samples.
This position is visible on screen.
