4.1.3. Diluting processes
Before the dilutions the MIX and the RBC chambers are filled up with 1 ml of diluent. This
method prevents the chamber from dirt and makes the diluting process faster.
the sampling needle. In the first diluting step the sample is dispensed into the MIX chamber
with 3 ml of diluent (1.0 ml is waiting in the MIX chamber), which comes from the Macro
syringe through V11 (On) and Micro-dilutor, while the M3 Dilutor motor moves upwards. This
process makes the 1:160 first dilution rate in the MIX chamber.
ml of diluent (1.0 ml + 3.0 ml) into the RBC chamber. This process makes 1:18285 dilution
rate in the RBC chamber.
