Double Rinsing the Sampling Probe
1. The horizontal traverse assembly moves the
sampling probe over the RINSE bath.
2. A double rinsing (interior and exterior) of the
probe removes residual whole-blood sample
from inside the probe.
a. In the CBC/DIFF mode, 5 µL is discarded
in the RINSE bath.
b. In the CBC mode, 7 µL is discarded in the
RINSE bath.
Aspirating from the First Dilution
1. The horizontal traverse assembly moves the
sampling probe over the DIL 1/HGB bath.
2. The vertical traverse assembly moves the probe
downward into the bath.
3. 42.5 µL of the 1:170 first dilution is aspirated
into the sampling probe.
