3.3 Assembling the Specimen
Chamber and Dispensing the
Specimen
CAUTIONS:
• The 1mL specimen chamber, chamber holder,
chamber cap and paper filter are disposable.
Do not reuse them.
• Confirm that a name and ID on each glass slide
match those of individual patients or subject.
• The limit of rotating imbalance of load is 3
grams. Evenly fill the specimen chambers to be
placed in the rotor.
• Use the 1mL specimen chamber only with the
1mL chamber holder, chamber cap, and paper
filter. Those for the 6mL and 12mL chambers
are not compatible.
• When the paper filter is in use, cytocentrifuge
the chambers within 2 ~ 3 minutes of
dispensing the specimen.
• The 6mL and 12mL specimen chambers, rubber
gaskets, 6/12mL specimen chamber holder and
cap are reusable after being disinfected and
washed. However, if they have cracks or are
deformed, do not use them.
• Do not use glass slides that have flaws. They
will be broken during operation.
• After the specimen has been dispensed,
immediately lock the bowl lid and start the
operation.
• Do not place different types of the chamber
assemblies in the rotor at a time. Doing so will
cause an imbalance error to occur during
operation.
• Glass slides might break, depending on their
size and quality. Determine if glass slides you
want to use can be safely assembled in the
chamber holders and processed on the
instrument before use.
• If the specimen chamber using the rubber
gasket is overfilled, aerosoling will occur
inside the guard bowl. If it is under filled,
uneven and inadequate smearing will result.
Procedure for Using 1mL Disposable
Specimen Chambers
1. Write the name of the specimen on a clean glass
slide and place the slide, frosted side up, in the
specimen chamber holder (Figure 3K).

2. Place the new paper filter on the slide (Figure 3L).
