7.2.1 Press Start
The Reagent Verification screen will appear. See below. Check all reagent
uptake lines closely to ensure that all are in the appropriate bottles and have
sufficient volume to perform the digestion about to take place. Also check the
drain line to insure that it is not fouled or crimped, and that it flows continually
downwards to the waste collection container.
