Sample tray

The sample tray holds patient samples, controls, calibrators, and diluents for measurement. The tray rotates to move the samples to the aspiration position.

The sample tray has two sections:

·   STT (outer section): Used for general samples and reference samples for multipoint calibrations. It has two rows, each containing 42 positions (total 84).

A barcode reader identifies samples in the STT. It can interpret barcode formats Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, and Code 128 format A, B and special characters ( . - + / * $ % ).

·   CTT (inner section): Used for calibrators, controls, and special purpose diluents. It has two rows. The outer row contains 34 positions; the inner row contains 27 positions (total 61). The CTT is water cooled.
