Analysis of the sample is performed in the following steps:
1. Collect and prepare sample
2. Select Manual mode
3. Input sample ID number
4. Analyze sample
5. Display analysis results
6. Output analysis results
7. Perform post-analysis procedures

EDTA as the anticoagulant.
• Samples must be warmed to room temperature for approximately 30
minutes before analysis.
