Initiating Assay Processing
The system automatically initiates assay processing when the following requirements
have been met:
The system is in the Ready state.
l
Adequate consumables are available.
l
The required assay reagent kit is loaded on the instrument.
l
Associated control or calibrator sets have been loaded or there are valid
l
control/calibrator results for the assay reagent kit.
All drawers and doors have been closed.
l
Once these conditions have been met, the system transitions into the Assay Processing
state. Sample processing begins after onboard TCR mixing has completed. The samples
will be processed based upon load order and processing efficiency. Continue to monitor
and manage sample pipetting, control/calibrator validity and reagent validity by referring
to the Run Status screen. Continue to monitor and manage the status of the consumables
by referring to the consumable inventories in the Status Panel.
Pausing Sample Pipetting
Pause sample pipetting as needed.
To pause sample pipetting:
From the Sample Rack Bay screen, select Pause.
l
Sample pipetting pauses after the completion of pipetting for the MTU in
progress. Sample pipetting remains paused until the user reinitiates sample
pipetting.
Warning—Do not remove the Sample Rack that is currently being
processed from the Sample Bay when the system is paused.
Assay processing activities for all pipetted samples continue while the sample
pipetting is paused. Select Resume to continue sample pipetting.
Resume Pipetting Following Pause
To restart sample pipetting following a pause:
Select Resume.
l
Sample pipetting resumes.
Monitoring the System through Hardware
Use the LEDs and the system alarm to help monitor the system status. Monitor the
