6.7.1 Notes on workstation mode

Warning
The user must adhere to the following in workstation operation!
• The last stations of the HistoCore SPECTRA ST must be filled with the same reagent (xylene) as the
reagent vessels in the load drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV in order to prevent compatibility
problems with the mounting medium being used and to prevent drying out the specimens
(→ P. 131 – 8.1
• As a last step, the transfer station is to be indicated in the staining program of the
HistoCore SPECTRA ST so that finished stained racks can be transferred to the
HistoCore SPECTRA CV. The description on the correct generation of staining programs can be
found in the Instructions for Use of the HistoCore SPECTRA ST.
• Using reagents that are incompatible with each other can lead to substantial impairments in
specimen and coverslipping quality.
• If the HistoCore SPECTRA CV cannot accept a rack from the HistoCore SPECTRA ST (e.g. due to an
instrument fault in the HistoCore SPECTRA CV or if the load drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV
is assigned), these will be transported to the HistoCore SPECTRA ST unload drawer.
• Therefore, the reagent vessels in the output drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA ST as well as the
reagent vessels in the input drawer of the HistoCore SPECTRA CV must be filled with xylene to
prevent the tissue samples from drying out.
• If a longer power failure occurs, proceed as described in
and instrument
• Note that in workstation mode, the HistoCore SPECTRA CV cannot process any racks for 5 slides.
• The instrument detects the manual insertion of racks for 5 slides in the load drawer of
HistoCore SPECTRA CV. An information message prompts the user to remove this rack again from
the load drawer.
