The file output from the Robotic sampler containing the sample and test receptacle bar-codes, positions dispensed within the test receptacle and error messages must be compatible with Stratec Aurora software which will be used with a DUET reader to read and interpret the test results. Any changes to the system software to enable this must be provided by the supplier. The Aurora software will also output the results to the host computer, the format of which will remain unchanged.
