Abstract
A method for user guided initiating of an instrument includes receiving a run plan via a user interface of the instrument; indicating on the user interface, based on the run plan, a consumable to be provided to the instrument; detecting the presence of the consumable using a vision system; and indicating the presence of the consumable via the user interface.
Claims17
A method for initiating an instrument, the method comprising:
- determining with a vision module including a camera of the instrument a number of unused reagent containers of a set of reagent containers;
- receiving a run plan via a user interface of the instrument, the run plan identifying a test to be performed by the instrument and parameters associated with the test, the test to utilize reagents stored in the set of reagents containers;
- and
- determining with the vision system whether the number of unused reagent containers is sufficient to perform the run plan.
