Quick Guide: Running Samples
Sample Preparation
There are 2 methods of preparing a slide on the SP-50, sampler preparation and manual preparation.
Sampler Preparation
Sample tubes with the cap closed are placed in a sample rack and loaded on the instrument. All steps
from sample mixing to smear preparation are performed automatically. You can place up to 50 samples
in the sampler at a time.
Manual Preparation
Use this method for urgent samples or samples that have volume that is not sufficient for the system /
rack mode. Samples must be mixed manually by inversion before analysis.
Use this mode when you want to print sample
information and perform sample smear & stain.
Use this mode when you want to print sample
information and perform sample smear only.
Use this mode when you want to stain a smear
sample that has been manually prepared.
Use this mode when you only ant to print sample
information onto a glass slide.
