Always wear gloves when
handling samples.
It is very important that

STOP! – The Following two steps are for FastPack® IP Vitamin D Users Only
Eject the sample into the
pre-treatment buffer tube
by pressing down on the
pipette plunger to the first
stop. Replace the screw
cap tightly onto the buffer
tube.
Each patient sample,
calibrator or control must
be thoroughly mixed with
the FastPack
®
Pre-
treatment buffer before
running a FastPack
®
IP
Vitamin D assay.
Invert the buffer tube at
least 3 times to thoroughly
mix together the sample
and buffer. The act of
mixing the sample and
buffer releases the vitamin
D present, therefore
making it available for the
assay.
Follow the FastSteps for
Vitamin D Guide steps 9
and 10 to complete sample
delivery to the FastPack
