Loading Samples into Sample Racks
Refer to the appropriate assay package insert for information concerning the preparation
of samples for processing, for recommended sample storage conditions, and for sample
handling. Load controls, calibrators, and specimens into Sample Racks before loading
the racks onto the system. Up to 15 samples can be loaded into a Sample Rack. Controls,
calibrators, and specimens can be loaded in any order and any position in the Sample
Rack.
Note—Make sure that the samples meet the appropriate sample volume
requirements before loading them into sample racks.
Note—Improperly prepared samples may cause errors on the system.
Refer to the appropriate assay package insert for important sample
preparation instructions.
Caution—Avoid touching the tops of specimens, controls, and
calibrators during preparation and loading.
Caution—Use only the sample racks and sample tubes that are
designed for use on the system.
Caution—Always handle specimens, controls, and calibrators cautiously
and keep sample racks upright to prevent splashing or spilling.
Caution—Ensure that all specimens, controls, and calibrators are
loaded straight and seated firmly in the sample rack.
Caution—Prior to loading, inspect all specimens, controls, and
calibrators for undissolved particles, clots, foam, or bubbles. Do not
attempt to use samples with undissolved particles, clots, foam, or
bubbles on the system.
To load samples into Sample Racks:
1. Obtain a clean Sample Rack and position the rack in the Rack Loading Tray on a
clean work surface.
