3.6 Analysis mode
Manual mode
In manual mode, the cap of the sample tube is manually removed and each sample is
aspirated individually via the whole blood aspiration pipette.
Capillary mode
In capillary mode, the sample diluted to 1:5 is aspirated manually via the whole blood
aspiration pipette, analyzed, displayed and reported.
Sampler mode
The sampler automatically mixes, aspirates and analyzes samples without removing their
caps. Up to 100 samples can be loaded at a time and analyzed automatically.
Manual closed mode
In manual closed mode, the sampler is used to aspirate the sample, without opening the cap
of the sample tube. This mode is basically the same as manual mode; mixing and
continuous analysis can not be performed automatically.
Note:
HPC analysis and body fluid analysis can only be performed in manual mode.
