Understanding the System Principles
3.2 Aspiration
This analyzer can process two types of blood samples – whole blood samples and prediluted
blood samples.
If you are going to analyze a whole blood sample, you can simply present the sample to the
sample probe and press the aspirate key to aspirate 13µL of the sample into the analyzer.
If you are going to analyze a capillary blood sample, you should first manually dilute the
sample (20 µL of capillary sample needs to be diluted by 1.6 mL of diluent) and then present
the pre-diluted sample to the sample probe and press the aspirate key to aspirate 0.7 mL of
the sample into the analyzer.
