6.9. Short volume samples
Low volume, „short samples‟ can be tested on the BV200 Viscometer. Here are some
solutions used by different laboratories depending on the tube type and consumables
available.
For 75 x 13 ml tubes transfer only a small amount of plasma 0.4 to 0.5 ml (maximum) to a 1.5
ml hanging cup or 1.5 ml mini tube using a Pasteur.
Place the hanging cup or mini tube in an empty primary tube. Apply a barcode to the big tube
for identification if possible.
It is very important that the plasma sample level is not higher than the primary tube label.
A pointed bottom mini tube is preferred as it will accommodate the pointed tip of the cap
piercing probe better.
