Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz. Key Points: In this online training course, you learned how to: Locate system components and identify the function of each component   Access to Water and Probe Wash Bottles: Opening this cover allows for the filling of the water and probe wash bottles while the system is running.                       Status Indicators for Water and Probe Wash: Green lights indicate the bottles are relatively full. As the fluid levels decrease the lights change to yellow and then red when the bottles are empty. Syringe Assembly: The small syringe provides precision transfer of reagent and sample to test units. The large syringe delivers probe wash and water to the pipetting probe. Sample Collection Tray: Collects pipetted samples in a removable tray.  Audible alarm alerts operator when not in place or full. Reagent Cover: Opening the reagent carousel cover allows loading and unloading of reagent and diluent wedges. The reagent carousel contains positions for 12 wedges and is cooled to maintain stability.                            Substrate Module: Houses substrate bottle and reservoir.  An alarm alerts the operator when reservoir level drops below approximately 25 tests                                         Display Panel: Indicates the status of the system through LED lights and messages, and contains buttons used to silence alarms and put the system into run and pause mode. Load Chain: Provides continuous access for loading of test units and sample cups. Computer: Access to the floppy drive, CD ROM, and computer power switch.  The floppy drive can be used to save exported data to a floppy disk, and the CD ROM drive is used for software updates.           List the steps of the test processing sequence The load chain transports the sample cups and test units to the barcode reader for sample and test identification, and then continues to transport the sample cups and test units to the pipetting station. The pipetting probe dispenses reagent and sample into a test unit. The load chain transports the sample cup to the sample collection tray. The test units are incubated at 37 degrees Celsius in the main incubation carousel. The test unit is spun at high speed resulting in separation of unbound materials from the bead. Substrate is dispensed into the test unit. The test unit incubates in the luminometer, and then the PMT records the light measurement in units of counts per second. The CPS measurement is then converted to a concentration result. The test units are transported to the solid waste bin by the test unit exit ramp.

Being able to effectively handle objections is a key factor in getting the prospect to move forward in the sales process. An objection indicates that the prospect is interested in your solution and should be welcomed.  Objections are not an unreasonable expectation, before, during and even after the sales process.    Select Next to review the course objectives. By following the journey that sample cups and test units take from beginning to end as a test is processed, you will gain a better perspective on how the different parts of the system function.  The steps of the test processing sequence include: Sample cup and test units are loaded on load chain Pipetting probe dispenses reagent and sample into test unit Sample cup is sent to sample collection tray Test unit incubates on main incubation carousel Test unit is washed at wash/spin station Substrate probe dispenses substrate into test unit Test unit incubates in luminometer and PMT (photomultiplier tube) takes light measurement Test unit exit ramp transports test unit to solid waste bin Test Processing Sequence Learn about the steps of the test processing sequence. Slide NumberText BlocksCalloutsAudio ScriptImage File1 Sample cup and test units are loaded on load chain Sample cups and test units are loaded.  Each sample cup can have up to five test units behind it. The load chain transports the sample cups and test units to the barcode reader for sample and test identification. The load chain transports the sample cups and test units to the pipetting station. Select Next to continue.                   Note: If audio does not automatically start, select the play arrow in the top left to begin.The first step in the test processing sequence is loading sample cups and test units on the load chain. The load chain then transports the sample cups and test units to the barcode reader for sample and test identification. After the barcodes are read, the load chain continues to transport the sample cups and test units to the pipetting station. Select Next to continue.2 Pipetting probe dispenses reagent and sample into test unit The pipetting probe aspirates reagent followed by a slug of air. The pipetting probe returns to the wash station for an exterior water rinse. The pipetting probe aspirates sample from the sample cup. Both reagent and sample are dispensed into the test unit that is in the pipetting position on the main incubation carousel.  The pipetting probe returns to the wash station for a thorough wash with probe wash and water. Select Next to continue. The pipetting process begins by the pipetting probe aspirating reagent from the appropriate wedge in the reagent carousel. A slug of air is aspirated directly behind the reagent. The pipetting probe then returns to the wash station for an exterior water rinse. Next, the pipetting probe aspirates sample from the sample cup, and then both reagent and sample are dispensed into the test unit that is in the pipetting position on the main incubation carousel. The pipetting probe then returns to the wash station for a thorough wash with probe wash and water.
