3 CREATING A SMEAR OF BLOOD
For operating maintenance, a smeared slide is needed.
Please follow the operating procedure below:
1. Add a small drop of homogenized blood to one end of a VERY clean slide
2. Take another clean slide, and holding at an angle of about 45 deg, touch the blood with one
end of the slide so the blood runs along the edge of the slide by capillary action.
3.Push carefully along the length of the first slide to produce a thin smear of blood.
Then allow to air dry.
