3.2 Aspiration
This analyzer can process two types of blood samples – whole blood samples and prediluted
blood samples.
If you are to analyze a whole blood sample, you can simply present the sample to the sample
probe and press the aspirate key to aspirate 13µL of the sample into the analyzer.
If you are to analyze a capillary blood sample, you should first manually dilute the sample (20
μL of capillary sample needs to be diluted by 0.7mL of diluent) and then present the
pre-diluted sample to the sample probe and press the aspirate key to aspirate 0.3ml of the
sample into the analyzer.
