Chapter 2 Measurement
1 Prepare samples.
For whole blood sample (anemia and non-anemia)
a Prepare sample in a sample tube or sample cup.
• The volume of sample as shown on the right is required for
measurement.
b If using a sample tube, make sure the cap is on tight.
• If not capped, cap the tube with a resealable cap.
For hemolysis samples:
a Prepare 400 μL or more of sample in a sample cup.
Min. 10 mm
away from
the bottom
Sample cup
Min. 400 μL
Sample tube (with cap)
Min. 1 mL
Performing measurements with uncapped tubes
may cause sample to splatter inside the
instrument while spinning, possibly jeopardizing
subsequent measurements. It may also cause
infection to the user or other individuals by
pathogenic microbes.
Use rubber resealable caps recommended by the sample tube manufacturer. Other unrecommended caps
may damage the piercing nozzle during measurement operations.
Sample cup
Min. 400 μL
Prepare hemolysis samples so that the hemoglobin
concentration is between 75 mg/dL and 225 mg/dL.
Inaccurate measurement results will be obtained if the
sample’s hemoglobin concentration is outside this range.
Use DILUENT 80 of CONTROL DILUTION SET 80 to
prepare hemolysis samples. Inaccurate measurement
results will be obtained if samples are diluted with other
diluents.
Hemolysis samples prepared in sample tubes cannot be measured in normal measurement. Use the STAT port to
measure hemolysis samples in sample tubes. See “2.6. STAT Measurement” on page 2-26.
