6.18 Sample analysis in capillary mode
Preparing 1:5 dilution of the sample
Prepare 1:5 diluted sample using the following materials.
• Diluent (CELLPACK)
• Microtube (MT-40, etc.)
• Pipette [40 µL] (SMI Micro Pettor 40 µL,
Type 1058-D40 etc.)
• Pipette [160 µL] (SMI Micro Pettor 50-250 µL,
Type 1200-J etc.)
• Diluent dispensing container (mayer, beaker, etc.)
• Diluent dispensing equipment (injector, etc.)
Note:
• If sample ID number is not set, they are automatically
assigned sequentially. (Automatic increment
function)
• When settings are made as shown below, analysis
order, etc. are inquired after the input of the sample
ID number.
Real time Request (Manual Mode)
[Sample ID]
• When the sample ID number is incremented
automatically for each analysis, the analysis order
and patient information are not inquired.
Risk of infection
When preparing a sample for capillary analysis, and
when analyzing a sample, be sure to wear gloves.
After completion of the analysis, be sure to wash your
hands with disinfectant.
If your hands or body are contaminated by blood, etc.,
you might be infected by pathogen, etc.
Caution!
Prepare and analyze the 1:5 diluted sample as soon
as possible after blood dispensing and dilution to
minimize platelet agglutination. Also, if diluent is
dispensed ahead of time, measurement errors are
generated because of evaporation and contamination;
therefore, prepare new diluted sample each time an
analysis is performed.
