PREVI™ Color Gram User's Manual
Never load chipped or cracked slides into the instrument. Failure to use slides
in good condition can lead to breakage during the staining cycle. If slides do
break in the bowl, see "Cleaning", page 5-18.
Make certain there are no small ferrous metal objects on the lab bench.
These can be attracted to the magnets on the bottom of the carousel and
cause damage if spun free of the magnets during spinning of the carousel.
Slides must be loaded in balanced pairs. If an odd number of slides need
to be stained, use a blank slide.
Carousels must be loaded with similar specimens for a similar level of
staining. Otherwise bioMérieux does not guarantee the staining performance.
