Page 18: Instrument Description
Starrsed RS can accommodate sample racks from different manufacturers. The individual rack with the blood samples is snapped into the RR Mechatronics rack adapter and need only be placed on the entry platform of the Starrsed Rack unit. The operator simply presses the button "Sample mode".
Page 19 External barcode reader, which can be connected to the USB port of the ESR analyser unit. This barcode reader can be used for reagent handling and for ID-input in sample history search. Starrsed RS with long level sensors This model uses large bulk containers for reagent supply instead of the 0.5-liter onboard containers. This means longer operation time without reagent preparation and no cleaning time.
