Samples
Reagents, Calibrators and Controls
CAUTION
Use samples that are completely free of insoluble substances like fibrin, or
suspended matter; otherwise the probe may be blocked.
Medicines, anticoagulants or preservative in the samples may lead to
unreliable results.
Hemolysis, icterus or lipemia in the samples may lead to unreliable test
results, so a sample blank is recommended.
Store the samples properly. Improper storage may change the
compositions of the samples and lead to unreliable results.
Sample volatilization may lead to unreliable results. Do not leave the
sample open for a long period.
Some samples may not be analyzed on the system based on parameters
the reagents claim capable of testing. Consult the reagent manufacturer or
distributor for details.
Certain samples need to be processed before being analyzed by the
system. Consult the reagent manufacturer or distributor for details.
CAUTION
Use appropriate reagents, calibrators and controls on the system.
Select appropriate reagents according to performance characteristic of the
system. Consult the reagent suppliers, our company or our authorized
distributor for details, if you are not sure about your reagent choice.
Store and use reagents, calibrators and controls strictly as instructed by
the suppliers. Otherwise, you may not obtain reliable results or best
performance of the system.
Improper storage of reagents, calibrators and controls may lead to
unreliable results and bad performance of the system even in validity
period.
Perform a calibration after changing reagents. Otherwise, you may not
obtain reliable results.
Contamination caused by carryover among reagents may lead to
unreliable test results. Consult the reagent manufacturer or distributor for
details.
