1.2.2. Reagents
Use only reagents supplied by the manufacturer with the analyzer, otherwise
accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Diatro Dil-DIFF Isotonic saline solution, used to dilute whole blood
samples and to rinse the fluidic system between
measuring procedures.
Diatro Lyse-DIFF Creates hemolysate for 3-part WBC differential and
for total WBC and HGB.
Diatro Cleaner For cleaning process of the fluidics.
1.2.3. Technical Operation
As the cell counter is a fully automated instrument, operating it requires minimal
training or technical support. Operator interaction is reduced to the following:
Perform a Blank Measurement in case the instrument is not used for a specific
time
Enter sample and/or patient data
Insert the sample to be analyzed into the sample holder
Print results either one-by-one, or in groups by selecting records from the
database
Perform simple weekly maintenance, as described later in this description
(7.1.2.).

arrives to your laboratory factory-calibrated and ready to use.
However, calibration needs updating whenever you find that the results have slightly
changed, or a different or new control material is used. With each control material
you receive for the instrument, you will find a control sheet listing the parameters the
instrument should match. Perform these calibrations as explained in a later chapter
(7.2).
