5.6 Analyzing the Sample (Pre-dilution procedure)
Description
This section describes how to analyze a pre-diluted sample through the “pre-
dilute” aspiration probe and how to use the dispense function. There are two
ways of pre-diluting a sample. The recommended pre-dilute method is using
the dispense function, which uses the factory calibrated dilution ratio of 1:225
(20 µl sample in 4.5 ml diluent). The second method is performing an external
pre-dilution using in-house dilution procedures, dilution ratios between 1:200
– 1:300, and re-calibrating system using selected dilution ratio.
Dilution Rates
and Ratios
Dilution Rates: 1:200 – 1:300
Recommended: 1:225 (20 µl sample in 4.5 ml diluent)
