SAMPLE PROCESSING
Sysmex SF-3000 Operator's Manual -- Revised September 1995 2-1
1. INTRODUCTION
If your SF-3000 is equipped with the auto sampler unit (optional), analyses can be
performed in four modes: manual open, capillary, auto (sampler), manual closed.
If your SF-3000 is equipped with the manual CP unit (optional), analyses can be
performed in three modes: manual open, capillary, manual CP mode.
This chapter explains the operation procedures for each mode.
1.1 Summary of Operation Mode
• Manual Open Mode
In manual open mode, the cap of each sample tube is manually removed and the
sample is aspirated via the whole blood aspiration pipette.
• Capillary Mode
In capillary mode, an analysis is performed after diluting the sample to a 1:5 dilution.
The method used to aspirate the sample is the same as that used in manual open
mode.
• Auto (Sampler) Mode
The closed sampler automatically mixes, aspirates, and analyzes samples without
removing their caps. Up to 50 samples can be automatically analyzed at a time.
• (Manual) Closed Mode
In manual closed mode, the sampler is used to aspirate the sample without opening
the cap of the sample tube. Basically the same as auto mode; however, does not
automatically mix or perform continuous analyses.
• Manual CP Mode
In manual CP mode, the manual CP unit (option) is used to aspirate the sample,
without opening the cap of the sample tube. Basically the same as manual closed
mode; and does not automatically mix or perform continuous analyses.
