5.2 Reagent handling
5.2.1 Draining/filling reagents (other than paraffin)
1. Manually changing the reagents
• Remove the appropriate reagent container from the reagent cabinet,
remove the bottle screw cap.
• Drain/refill the reagent by pouring to/from a bulk container. Use the
included funnel for clean filling.
• On the REAGENT STATUS screen, verify correct allocation and set the
reagent container as full.
2. Use the "Remote Fill / Drain" features
• Connect the hose for remote filling/draining as
shown in Fig. 6 (Chap. 4.3) to the connection
(7).

5. Operation
Important!
Press the connection of the hose firmly
into the holder until you can clearly
hear it click.
• Hook the other end of the hose into the bulk
container that you are emptying or filling.
While performing a reagent fill/drain, ensure that the remote fill/
drain hose is securely placed in the remote container and is not
removed from the container until the operation is fully completed
Finally, pressurized air is used to clear the hose after each fill /
drain so that no dirt remains.
The hose should therefore not be removed from the bulk container
until this cleaning step is complete.
