SAMPLE ANALYSIS
Sysmex KX-21 Operator’s Manual -- Revised October 2-1
1. INTRODUCTION
This instrument works in two analysis modes: whole blood mode and pre-diluted mode.
This chapter describes the general operation procedures from instrument start-up to
shutdown, with the procedures in respective analysis modes.
1.1 Overview of Analysis Modes
• Whole blood mode
This is the mode of analyzing collected blood sample in the whole blood status. The tube
cap is opened and the sample is aspirated through the sample probe one after another.
• Pre-diluted mode
This mode is used in analyzing a minute amount of child's blood, for instance, collected
from the earlobe or fingertip. In this mode, blood sample diluted into 1:26 before
analysis is used. The sample aspiration procedure is the same as in the whole blood
mode.
NOTE: • In the pre-diluted mode, particle distribution curve and particle
distribution analysis data are not output, and the output is confined to
only the CBC8 parameter.
