3.2. Initialization of the Fluidic System
Fluidic initialization process performs the following steps:
Checking of valves by turning all on/off
Checking of pump and pressure sensor by generating measuring vacuum
Positioning all mechanical components by scanning moving range (with end-switches)
Priming of reagents and calibrating reagent sensors
Cleaning of tubing & measuring chamber
Cleaning of aperture with high-pressure back-flush, cleaner reagent & high-voltage
burning
3.3. Sampling process
The aspirating needle aspirates 25 µl of blood sample. The Micro-dilutor syringe makes the
aspirating while the M4 Micro-dilutor motor moves down.
There are three sampling process during the 5-part measurement cycle (Lyse2,MIX,RBC) In
a three part cycle the Lyse2 sampling is missing and the MIX sample volume can be 50 µl if
prediluted mode is used.
