Description
This Bio-Rad VARIANT II Turbo service manual PDF (L70243200, January 2004) serves as a crucial supplement to the main VARIANT II Service Manual, providing specialized guidance for the VARIANT II TURBO Hemoglobin Testing System. It covers system modifications, safety precautions for electrical, mechanical, and biohazard risks, detailed specifications for sampling and chromatographic stations, installation/de-installation steps including Bio-Rad VARIANT II Turbo installation procedures with unpacking, setup, and computer requirements. The manual includes dedicated sections on VARIANT II TURBO service software for VCS and VSS, with manual screens, sensor status details, and adjustments. TURBO procedures outline column heater tweaks, valve replacements, and VSS operations, while replacement guides detail column heater blocks and upgraded tube hold-down sensors with wiring upgrades.
Troubleshooting emphasizes chromatography review, variant hemoglobin patterns, retention times with flowcharts, area counts, VARIANT II Turbo error codes troubleshooting for VCS/VSS/general issues, self-diagnostics sequences, timing charts, and detector noise tests with acceptable/failure criteria and stabilization tips. Maintenance covers materials, VCS/VSS routines, performance verification, and checklists. Appendices provide fluidic diagrams for VCS/VSS tubing, mechanical drawings like column cartridge holders and sampling heads, and electronic diagrams with PCB layer details for connections and drivers.
