Section 15 | Completing a Staining Run
During a staining run the RUN LOG screen is displayed and updated with each step performed. The
current step is highlighted in blue and displayed at the bottom of the screen. Previously performed
steps can be reviewed using the scroll bars.
NOTE: To view previous steps, use the scroll bar to get to the desired view field, then release the
mouse button. Do not hold the button depressed for an extended period. Holding the mouse button
down too long may cause the Autostainer Plus to pause.
EMERGENCY STOP
can be used to stop the run at any time. Selecting this button
pauses the run. This button disappears once the staining run is
complete.
PRINT LOG Prints the Run Log for the current run. Selecting this button during
a staining run prints a partial Run Log, showing the last event
completed by the Autostainer Plus. This button changes to PRINT
IHC once the run has ended.
PRINT IHC Is displayed only after the run has ended. Selecting this button
prints an IHC Report as defined during Initialization (see Initializing
the Dako Autostainer Plus, Section 6).
NEW PROGRAM Is used to program a new run while the current run is being
processed. Selecting this button displays the PROGRAMMING
GRID. This button disappears once the staining run is complete.
REVIEW PROGRAM Is used to return to the Programming Grid to review the run in
progress. No changes can be made at this screen. This button
disappears once the staining run is complete. At the end of a
staining run an audible tone sounds every few seconds and the
RUN LOG screen displays the message “End Program Run”.
1. Select the PRINT IHC button to print the Immunohistochemical Report.
NOTE: If the Print IHC button is not pressed, then a Run Log Report will not be printed.
To print out an IHC report at a later time, see Programming Slides, section 10.
2. Select the OK button. The robotic arm moves to the home position (left side of the
instrument) and the waste pump activates to drain the waste reservoir. A dialog box asks
if the Run Log should be saved. For instructions on how to save and print a run log see
Saving and Printing a Run Log below.
