Dilution tray mixer operation

Initialization: The mixer moves to the mixer position, then goes to the down position. If it is already at the mixer position, it is raised, then lowered.

During each 2 second cycle on the DTT:

  1. The mixer moves up and over to the wash port, where it is washed with deionized water. During this period, the dilution mixer wash valve (DMEV) is open, and (briefly) the mixer rod is on.

  2. The mixer is raised and moved to the mixer position, where it is lowered into the DTT cuvette. The rod is turned on to mix the sample.

  3. The mixer is raised from the cuvette and moved back to the wash port. The next cycle begins.

If an assay is not running, you can operate the unit manually from the Manual Operation window.
