To prime the reagent packs:
1. Remove the dispense tip cover.
2. Press the dispenser tip button while holding the reagent pack over a secondary waste
container (e.g., a plastic container).
3. Press until a full stream of reagent flows from the pack. This removes any air that may be
trapped in the dispenser tip.
Load Reagents onto the Reagent Carousel
Now you are ready to load the reagents onto the Artisan™ Link
1. Using the printed Required Reagent Report as a guide, place the required reagent packs onto
the reagent carousel.
Note: The instrument starts scanning reagents at position 1. Therefore, you should start
loading reagents at position 1.
2. When reagent scanning begins, the instrument scans the reagent positions in the carousel
starting with position 1. It will continue scanning from that point until it encounters three (3)
empty reagent positions. It then stops scanning for reagents.
DakoLink Bar Code Scanner
You can check the Reagent pack history without having to place the pack onto the reagent carousel
by using the DakoLink Bar Code Scanner.
 Hold the scanner 1-4 inches from the small square DataMatrix bar code on the reagent pack
label.
 Squeeze the trigger on the scanner until you hear a beep.
 The bottle detail screen will appear.
