Setting Up the Reagent Block
User Guide | 65
There is a diagram of the MAGPIX reagent block and well strip.
Important: The reservoirs and wells in the diagram correspond to those in the
MAGPIX reagent block and well strip as seen when you stand facing the
ejected plate.
When you select a maintenance routine, one or more reservoirs and wells are filled
in.
The Reagent Block section displays the lot number of the calibration kit and
verification kit currently selected. It also displays the lot numbers of the reagents
that belong to the calibration and verification kits. Use this information to ensure
that you are using the correct reagents.
Important: Do not mix reagents from different verification kits. All of the
reagents must belong to the same lot.
If you select a different kit from the Select Kit section, the lot information in the
Reagent Block section automatically updates with the new kit information.
