Hardware overview
Reagent handling
Loading and removing reagents is guided by the system software. When handling is
required, the rotor moves the bottles to the reagent port, where you can load or
remove them. You handle one reagent bottle at a time. Reagent bottles are placed on
the reagent disk.

Rotor
The rotor provides the following features:
o Space for up to 27 reagent bottles (on the reagent disk)
o Space for up to 60 cuvettes (in the cuvette ring)
o A cooled environment for reagents (reagent cooler)
o A temperature controlled environment for samples (cuvette ring)
o A synchronized transport mechanism to move reagent bottles and cuvettes to the
pipetting, loading, and measuring positions.
