Appendix C: System Fluids

Recommended Fill Volumes

You can analyze samples with the Rapidlab 1200 systems using the sample
collection devices listed in the following table. Always use the recommended
minimum fill volumes for the sample devices. This ensures that the systems can
aspirate sufficient sample for analysis.
