7. Sample Analysis
7.1 Introduction
This instrument works in 2 analysis modes: whole blood mode and
pre-diluted mode.
This chapter explains the entire operating procedure from startup to
shutdown of the instrument, as well as the operating procedure in
each analysis mode.
7.2 Outline of analysis modes
• Whole blood (WB) mode
This mode is used to analyze collected samples in the whole
blood status. The tube cap is opened and the sample is aspirated
through the sample probe one after another.
• Pre-diluted (PD) mode
This mode is used to analyze micro samples (samples of smaller
volumes) such as pediatric blood collected from the earlobe or
fingertip.
Analyzes a sample which has been diluted to 1:26 using a micro
tube.
