How to handle the Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Laboratory Photometer The CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is operated solely by means of the Tablet PC. All the basic operating steps are displayed as symbols. An overview of these symbols can be found in Table 1 (p. 3) and Table 2 (p.
How the Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Laboratory Photometer works The Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is an open measuring system. This means that it is able to use various reagents from multiple manufacturers. To perform a test the CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is loaded with an ERS cartridge filled with reagents from the respective reagent manufacturers. The Instrument can process endpoint tests, kinetic tests and coagulation tests.

GETTING STARTED The proper placement of the CUBE-S/CUBE Laboratory Photometer Place the Instrument on a dry, clean, stable and level surface. Make sure the Instrument has at least 10 cm of table surface and clearance on each side and that the Instrument can be easily disconnected from the power source.
The Tablet PC The Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is operated with a Tablet PC. Connect the Tablet PC to the USB port of the plugged-in Instrument and then turn on the Tablet PC. An independent Tablet PC manual is delivered with the Tablet PC. It describes in detail the operating of the Tablet PC, how to manage settings and the establishing of a Bluetooth or USB connection between the CUBE-S/CUBE and the Tablet PC.
Note: the Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE application supports several languages. If you choose a language in the system settings that is not supported by the CUBE-S/CUBE app English will be used. How to switch the Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Laboratory Photometer ON The Instrument is switched on by plugging the power cable into the socket. This launches the Instrument’s automatic start-up and warm-up processes.
