Docking Station 2

Overview

The Docking Station (Figure 2.2) connects the COBAS

AmpliPrep

Instrument to the COBAS

TaqMan

Analyzer and fully automates sample

preparation, amplification, and detection.

When the Docking Station is installed, prepared K-tubes are automatically

transferred from the COBAS

AmpliPrep Instrument to the COBAS

TaqMan

Analyzer as shown in Figure 2.2.

Installation

Transportation and Storage Conditions

The Docking Station is transported in a palletized container.

The Docking Station weight, including accessories, pallet and packaging

materials, is approximately 35 kg (77 lb).

Docking Station Dimensions and Weight

Unpacking and Installation

The original shipping container must be transferred unopened to the

installation site. The Docking Station should be unpacked and installed by

trained Roche Service personnel. No attempt should be made by the user

to remove, set up, or operate the instrument without Roche Service

personnel being present.

The packing list that accompanies the Docking Station contains the

description, part number, and quantity of all component parts,

accessories, and consumables delivered with the instrument. This packing

list should be verified against the delivered items and retained for future

reference.

Electrical Power Requirements

The Docking Station is designed in accordance with EN/IEC 61010-1,

EN/IEC 61010-2-101, UL 61010A-1, and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1.

Environmental Requirements

The Docking Station is designed for indoor use at an altitude below 2,000

meters (6,500 feet). Room temperature should be between 15° C to 32° C

(59° F to 89° F), and relative humidity should not exceed 80% at 32° C

(89°

F) without condensation. Atmospheric conditions should conform to

Pollution Degree 2 (according to EN/IEC 61010-1).

Width 35 cm (13.75 in)

Methodology

The Docking Station links a COBAS

AmpliPrep Instrument to a COBAS

TaqMan

Analyzer (Figure 2.3) and fully automates sample handling

during sample preparation, amplification, and detection.

When preparation of each sample is completed, the K-tube containing the

prepared sample is automatically placed in a K-carrier. When sample

preparation of a batch is completed, the loaded K-carrier is then

automatically loaded onto the Docking Station multicarrier (

Figure 2.4)

by the COBAS

AmpliPrep Instrument.

The Docking Station then transports the multicarrier containing the

K-carrier from the COBAS

AmpliPrep Instrument to the COBAS

TaqMan

Analyzer (Figure 2.4).

The COBAS

TaqMan

Analyzer then transfers the K-carrier from the

multicarrier to a thermal cycler (

Figure 2.5) and performs amplification

and detection on the K-tube contents. After amplification and detection is

completed, empty K-carriers are returned to the COBAS

AmpliPrep

Instrument by the Docking Station.

Loading Empty K-carriers

When using the Docking Station, an empty K-carrier must be present in

each of the two K-carrier park positions of the COBAS

AmpliPrep

Instrument and in positions 9 to 12 of the Reload Area of the COBAS

TaqMan

Analyzer.

If empty K-carriers are not present in these positions, they must be loaded

into these positions before starting a run.

Loading Two Empty K-carriers in the K-carrier Park Positions on the COBAS

AmpliPrep Instrument

1 Turn off the instrument power switch.

2 Open the main cover.

3 Load two empty K-carriers in the two K-carrier park positions

(Figure 2.6).

4 Close the main cover.

5 Turn on the system power switch.
