Sample Volume Requirements
The sample volume requirement for routine testing of controls and patient samples is
• 150µL (minimum)
This recommendation supports onboard sample storage for three hours under average laboratory
conditions without observable concentration effects due to sample evaporation. Reliability of assay results
cannot be guaranteed if this recommendation is not followed. The sample volume required for testing can
be located on the ORDERLIST Report.
NOTE: For additional information on sample volume, refer to the ARCHITECT
System Operations Manual.
