Siemens ADVIA 2120 Operator's Manual page 20

Once the cytochemical reactions are complete in the reaction chambers, the
sample and reagent mixtures from the perox, RBC, baso, and retic reaction
chambers are sent to the flowcells for analysis.
The Hgb reaction chamber serves as an optical cuvette through which the
hemoglobin measurement is read.
After analysis, the sample and reagent mixture is evacuated into the waste
container and the appropriate pathways and reaction chambers are rinsed.
Test results are sent to the computer to be reviewed and edited.
