displayed on the sample explorer and data browser screens of
the Information Processing Unit (IPU).
Analysis results analyzed in HPC analysis mode are marked
with an “H” to the left of the sample No. on the Main Unit LCD

Information
• Analysis requires an adequate sample volume.
Correct analysis results cannot be obtained if the
instrument does not aspirate an adequate sample
volume. For required sample volumes, see “Chapter
6: 6.16 Preparing sample analysis”.
Caution!
To remove the sample tube, pull straight down to
prevent bending the manual aspiration pipette.
Otherwise the blood may scatter.
Note:
The manual aspiration pipette is automatically rinsed,
and does not need to be wiped manually.
Information
• If the value of HPC# is low, we recommend
performing multiple analysis.
• A sample to be used for any purpose other than HPC
analysis should be analyzed in normal mode.
• Abnormal judgments and sampler stop conditions do
not apply to HPC#.
