Delayed Start Water Rinse: For a delayed start, idle rinses may be performed with water or
buffer. Select the Delayed Start water rinse option to use water. If this option is not checked
then idle rinse will be with buffer. (Deionized water is not available with the “01” hardware version
of the Dako Autostainer.)
NOTE: The Delayed Start Water Rinse options cannot be selected while the No Pre-Rinse option
is selected.
Add Rinse to Protocol Steps: When creating a new protocol template, a buffer rinse can be
added automatically, following each step. Select the Add Rinse to Protocol Steps option to
automatically add buffer rinses. If this option is not checked, the rinse step must be manually
selected.
Show only Programmed Slides: To display only the programmed slides on the Slide Layout
Maps, select the Show only Programmed Slides option. If this option is not checked, the Slide
Layout Maps shows all slide positions, displaying programmed and unprogrammed slides.
No Pre-Rinse: When creating a new protocol template, the default pre-rinse step may be
removed. Select the No Pre-rinse option to remove the default pre-rinse. If this option is not
checked, then in the Protocol Template there will be a default buffer rinse step.
NOTE: The No Pre-Rinse option cannot be selected while the Delayed Start Water Rinse option is
selected.
Flex-Time Blow Option: When a program is running, the timing of blow steps can be adjusted by
this feature. Check this option to minimize run time. The instrument will make minor adjustments
to the incubation times of reagents that precede a blow step. Leave this option unchecked to fix
incubation times. Be aware that fixed incubation times (option left unchecked) may increase the
run time.
