The recommended schedule is shown below. It is important to replace the reagents on a

The supplied kit is intended to last for one year. Additional kits can be ordered from your
local HF scientific distributor or representative. It is recommended to keep one kit on hand
at all times.
Generally, all “B” tubes should be replaced on a three month basis. The “A” Cap
assemblies and the cuvette should be replaced annually.
Every Month
1. The reagent required for operating this instrument must be changed on a monthly
basis (with a 2.5 minute cycle time).
