z Samples, controls, calibrators and waste are potentially infectious. Wear
proper personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, lab coat, etc.) and follow
safe laboratory procedures when handling them in the laboratory.
z Be sure to keep the reagents still for a while before using them.
z After installing a new container of diluent, rinse or lyse, do a background
check to ensure the background results are normal.
You should perform the “Lyse Prime” procedure to prime the lyse tubing with lyse when
there are bubbles in the tubing; or
the lyse in the tubing is contaminated; or
the old lyse ran out and a new container of lyse is installed.
