Specifications for maximum
sample volumes
The maximum filling level is 10 mm below the upper rim of the sample container.
This applies to all sample tubes, standard cups, and micro cups. For sample cups the
maximum filling level results in the following maximum sample volumes:
Do not exceed maximum sample volumes. Otherwise sample may get spilled on rack
conveyor and cause instrument problems.
Certified standard cups Only the following original standard cups are certified by Roche Diagnostics:
o Hitachi standard cup
o cobas sample cup (catalog no. 10394246001)
Although non-Roche Diagnostics sample cups are visually similar, they may have a
different inner geometry and may have been produced using non-specified materials.
The liquid level detection and the level tracking are influenced by the inner geometry
of the cup. Thus, air may be pipetted when non-Roche Diagnostics cups are used.
This could not be detected under certain circumstances.
Standard cup
1.5 mL
Micro cup
500 L
Incorrect results when using non-certified cups
Sample cups from other vendors may cause inaccurate sample pipetting which may lead
to incorrect results.
o Use only cups certified by Roche Diagnostics.
