Leica CV5030 – Robotic Coverslipper

6. Workstation operation

6.2 Operation as ST5020 – CV5030 workstation (continued):

Fig. 43

• After the coverslipping operation, the empty

specimen slide holder is transferred back onto

the discharge chute (81) of the transfer station.

The display shows "READY".

• If the discharge chute is already occupied

with two empty specimen slide holders, an

additional "TS FULL" message is shown on the

display of the CV5030.

• With a third specimen slide holder, the dis-

charge chute is completely occupied and

the robotic coverslipper emits a signal tone,

accompanied by the messages "TS FULL" and

"PAUSED". The robotic coverslipper is now in

pause mode. The specimen slide holders now

have to be removed, as otherwise work cannot

continue. To do so, confirm the signal tone with

the RESPOND button. All empty specimen slide

holders must be removed from the discharge

chute and the drawer of the transfer station

must be closed. Then, press the START but-

ton, so that the "READY" message appears on

the display. Transfer from the slide stainer to

the robotic coverslipper is now possible once

again (77).

Basically, we do not recommend man-

ual loading of the CV5030 in worksta-

tion operation, as this can impair or

stop the program flow of the ST5020.

• If it is necessary to insert a specimen slide

holder into the loading bath manually for cov-

erslipping, the empty specimen slide holder

must also be removed from the loading drawer

manually. The empty specimen slide holder is

not conveyed automatically into the transfer

station and thus onto the discharge chute.
