Step 9
As Required Maintenance
Step 10
Once the reagent positioning pack positions are stored, the boom
assembly parks before beginning the Level Sense Calibration procedure.
Level Sense
Calibration
The Level Sense Calibration sets the vertical height reference point necessary
for the probe/electrode assembly to sense liquid in the following
components:
Reaction cell
FPIA sample cartridge
SELECT reagent packs
The vertical boom reference point is determined with 50 L of diluent buffer
in the sample well of the blank cell. The IMx System automatically calculates
the other vertical reference points from this value.
Step 1
Place unused blank cells into positions #2, #7, #12, #17, and #22 on the
MEIA or SELECT carousel, and lock the carousel.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
The MEIA optical assembly verifies the correct placement of the blank
cells.
The dispense system primes several times before dispensing 50 L of
MEIA #2 diluent buffer into the five sample wells.

Based on system software settings the message INVALID LEVELS may not be
displayed for levels outside of the 260-270 range.
If the Level Sense Calibration was invalid, proceed to Step 7.
If you have already repeated the Level Sense Calibration and the levels are
still invalid, contact the IMx Customer Support Center; proceed to Step 8.
