Figure 3. The front of the NucleoCounter® NC-250™
The figure above shows the front of the NucleoCounter® NC-250™. Three operational areas
are present:

Lid with sample tray behind

Run and Eject Keys

Tri color status indicator
The lid is located in the first area where the sample, contained in a slide is placed. When
the sample tray is ejected a Slide can be placed here. The Sample tray will automatically
open the lid. A spring will ensure that the lid closes again when the sample tray is inserted.
Caution! No parts or materials must be placed in front of the lid as the sample tray can
cause these to tip during ejection.
The second area is where the operational keys are placed. Once a protocol has been
selected in the software (se detailed description in the NucleoView™ NC-250™ Software
User’s Guide), an analysis using this protocol can be performed just be activating the Run
key.
