Sample Analysis 3.5 Preparing Sampl es BC-2800 is capable of analyzing two types of samples - whole blood samples and prediluted samples. Biohazard Consider all materials (specimens, reagents, controls, calibrators, or components that contain or have contacted human blood) as being potentially infectious.
Page 42
D. Be sure to prevent dusts from falling into the prepared diluent. Otherwise, you may acquire misleading result. E. The precision of the analysis results of the prediluted samples vary depending on the operators. Mindray recommends every laboratory evaluate the stability of the results based on its sample quantity and collection method.
