User interface
The Cedex Bio instrument is equipped with a touchscreen, an on-screen keyboard
and four global action buttons. LEDs and acoustic signals let you know when it is safe
to add or remove samples, reagents and other fluids.
With buttons and other display items, โtraffic lightโ color coding is used: Green
means OK, yellow: watch out, you need to do something, and red means that your
intervention is required for processing to continue.
The screens have a clear and consistent layout and are easy to use. The topics are
divided in the proven work areas: Overview for order and fluid handling, Workplace
for result handling and details on orders, and Utilities for administration tasks.

For details on the user interface, see Chapter 4 Software.

of the screen.
E The buttons vary depending on the content
of the working area and the screen position

that is relevant to the current screen and
