SAMPLE PROCESSING
Sysmex SF-3000 Operator's Manual -- Revised September 1995 2-3
2. START-UP PROCEDURE
2.1 Operator Checks
1 . Reagents
Make sure that there is a sufficient amount of reagent for the day's samples.
If the amount is insufficient, prepare replacement reagent. If reagent runs out
during an analysis, the system automatically stops and alerts the operator to replace
the reagent. Analysis cannot be resumed until replacement is complete. Replace
the reagent container by referring to the procedures in Chapter 5: Maintenance and
Supplies.
The following shows the approximate number of cycles that can be analyzed per
container of reagent.
Table 2-2: Cycles Analyzed per Reagent Container
Reagent Number of Cycles Analyzed
CELLPACK : Diluent 380 cycles per 20 L container
STROMATOLYSER-FB : BASO Reagent 2,500 cycles per 5 L container
STROMATOLYSER-FD (I) : 4Diff Reagent 2,500 cycles per 5 L container
STROMATOLYSER-FD (II) : 4Diff Reagent 2,500 cycles per 500 mL bottle
SULFOLYSER : HGB Reagent 1,000 cycles per 500 mL bottle
2 . Printer Paper
Make sure that there is sufficient printer paper for the day's samples.
3 . Equipment
Check the tubing and cables. Make sure that the tubing is not bent and the power
cord is securely plugged into the power outlet.
4 . Sampler
Make sure that there are no racks on the analysis line. Remove any rack from the
line. Make sure that the left and right rack pools and analysis line are clear.
5 . Waste Fluid
Discharge any waste fluid that has been collected in the pneumatic unit drain trap
and waste container (if applicable).
