You can use up to eight different reagent disks on one Cedex Bio instrument. Each
reagent disk is equipped with numbered tabs. For automatic disk identification by the
instrument, one—and only one—of these tabs is removed. The number of this
removed tab is the disk ID. When you label the disk, make sure that the number on
the label corresponds to that of the removed tab.
A Reagent disk IDs. There are eight possible
IDs.
B Disk label. The number must correspond to
