10. Enter the assay reagent kit information as follows:
a. Enter the date that the assay reagent kit was prepared.
b. If the assay reagent kit requires the addition of a TCR additive, select
the TCR Additive field and use the handheld barcode scanner to enter
the barcode of the additive.
c. Repeat steps a and b for all assay reagent kits loaded onto the system,
as needed.
d. Select Accept when finished entering the assay reagent kit information.
The system groups the kit into a matched set. The system updates the
Panther Assay Reagent Bay screen to show the assay type, the number of
available tests, and the remaining onboard stability time for each loaded kit.
Unloading Panther Assay Reagents
Assay reagent kits can be unloaded from the system whenever the kit is not currently
involved in assay processing. Removing reagents that are not in use preserves
assay reagent onboard stability. The assay reagent kit-associated control or
calibrator status is invalidated when the assay reagent kit is removed from the
system. Assay reagent kits must be unloaded before the system is shut down.
Warning—Do not remove Reagent or Sample Racks that are currently in
use by the system. Do not remove racks when the lane LED is red and
the rack graphic on the screen is yellow with a red border.
To unload Assay Reagents:
1. Open the Reagent Bay Door.

Note—Scan the Master Lot barcode with the handheld scanner
when loading assay reagent kits that include reagent lots used
across multiple Master Lots. An additional field for the Master Lot
barcode is provided under this loading scenario.
Note—If loading multiple assay reagent kits of the same assay type,
the system automatically deducts tests from the assay reagent kit
that was loaded onto the system first.
