Section 1 Use or Function
The CELL-DYN 3200 is a multiparameter, automated hematology analyzer
designed for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. The instrument has two
versions, the automated sample loader (CELL-DYN 3200SL), and manual closed
sampler (CELL-DYN 3200CS). An example of each version is shown in Figure 1.1
and 1.2.
The term CELL-DYN 3200 refers to both versions unless either the Closed
Sampler (CS) or Sample Loader (SL) model is specifically stated. The terms open
sample and closed sample are used interchangeably with open sampler and closed
sampler. Generally, when referring to the mode of operation, the terms Open
Sampler and Closed Sampler are used and when referring to components of the
instrument, Open Sample and Closed Sample are used, e.g., Open Sample
Aspiration Probe.
The CELL-DYN 3200SL is equipped with a Sample Loader Module. The Sample
Loader provides continuous automated closed sampling for up to 50 closed-tube
samples at a time. The Sample Loader is also referred to as the Auto Sampler.
