Starting The Coverslipping Process - Leica CV5030 Operating Manual

5.6.2 Starting the coverslipping process

Leica CV5030 – Robotic Coverslipper
Pressing the START key:
• The unit now moves the loading bath to the rear and then begins search-
ing the first specimen slide.
• The output magazine is positioned.
• Specimen slides are sequentially coverslipped and moved to sequential
positions of the output magazine (from top to bottom).
The coverslipping process ends after the last specimen slide with
an audible signal and the message "FINISHED" on the display. If
all output magazines are filled before all specimen slides have
been coverslipped, the message CHECK LIFT appears.
• The loading bath is ready for removal of the empty specimen slide
holder.
• The output magazines remain in place at the next available position.
• After the alarm sound is acknowledged with RESPOND, the message
in the display is cleared.
• At the end of the workday and before long work breaks, move the dispens-
er into prime position (park position) to keep the nozzle from drying out.
• An empty specimen slide holder can be removed from the loading bath
and refilled or replaced with a full specimen slide holder.
• If all or individual specimen slide holders are to be removed, use the LIFT
key to raise the output magazines to the removal position.
Removal is not absolutely necessary after each specimen slide holder,
as long as sufficient capacity remains for the next coverslipping cycle
(max. capacity = 60 specimen slides).
CAUTION!
If the output magazines are raised to the removal position by
pressing LIFT, all specimen slides MUST be removed.
