Test Procedure and Results 4-7
c. A 100 PL sample will fill the sample chamber and
form a line between the two triangles printed on
the rotor, as shown in the figure at right. The
reagent rotor is designed to handle up to 120 PL of
sample which will partially fill the well just
beyond the two triangles.
Note: If an air bubble is introduced, add enough
sample to fill the overflow area by 1/3 to 1/2.
The figure at right shows sample volumes.
Review this diagram before adding sample to
the rotor.
d. Tilt the rotor approximately 45º so that the sample port is higher than the arrows.
This will cause any sample remaining at the sample port to flow into the sample
chamber.
7. Do not spill blood on the bar code ring or reagent rotor. Carefully wipe up any spilled
blood with a lint-free tissue. Ensure that the tissue does not pull any sample back out of the
sample port.
8. Patient identification numbers may be written in the
space indicated at right. Do not write anywhere else
on the rotor or on the bar code ring.
9. Hold the reagent rotor by its edges and keep it in a flat
position while carrying it to the analyzer.
Note: The test run must begin within 10 minutes
of placing the sample in the reagent rotor.
Sample volume should not exceed 120
