Loading the cartridge HOME>New Test>Sample ID>Next
1) When entering sample ID operation is done, LOAA Analyzer's front-side shutter opens to load the cartridge,
and the cartridge loader comes forward.
2) Place the locked cartridge in the cartridge loader.
Note. The cartridge must be locked and there must not be a gap between the top/bottom parts of the cartridge
case and the red rubber ring at the center when viewed from the side.
3) Place the cartridge with the bottom side facing down, so that the Optolane company logo on the top of the
cartridge is aligned with the triangular mark (circled in red) on the top of the loader of the LOAA Analyzer
(Figure 14).
4) Finally, once the cartridge is securely in place, even if you gently push the cartridge to the left or right by hand,
it should not move because the cartridge is fully seated.
Caution:
If the Cartridge is not fully loaded in place, the device and software will not advance to the next step and the
door will open again automatically. Remove the cartridge and reload it in the correct position.
Since the cartridge window is where the light source passes through, user should be careful not to hold this area
with your bare hands and be sure to get any foreign matter off.
