- Revision history
- Index
• Direct sample pipetting can be performed by using the
pipette unit of the analyzer.
• Samples can be directly transported to another module if
required.
• Parallel sample processing is possible through the manual
rack module on the Alinity module (see STAT) and the
GLP systems Track.
Pipetting sequence
• Local loading of sample tubes is available by using the
racks on the Alinity ci-series reagent and sample manager
(RSM).
• When sample tubes are loaded from the RSM and the
GLP systems Track, the pipetting sequence is one CAR
with sample from the track to one rack of sample tubes,
which is described as interleave 1:1.
Distribution
• A maximum of seven additional samples are provided for
each pipette unit on the SAL.
• An additional waiting area is available for each module (a
maximum of eight samples for each module).
• High-priority samples are prioritized (STAT).
• Samples are immediately forwarded for additional
analysis, distribution, or final archiving.
