Ŷ Adding the sample to the Disc
It is advisable to power up the instrument prior to loading the sample on the disc.
See page xx.
Ŷ Bring the refrigerated, unopened disc to room temperature for at least 10 minutes
before opening it. Once opened, the disc must be used within 10 minutes. Load the
disc on the Analyzer within 10 minutes after injecting the sample.
Discs are fragile — always handle with care. Do not tap discs on the
workbench. Do not use a disc that has been dropped. Inspect every disc for
damage before use. Never use a damaged disc.
Ŷ Use a pipette to inject 450 µL into the sample injection hole. The disc requires a
minimum of 450 µL, maximum of 750 µL. Slowly inject the blood sample into the disc
through the sample injection hole.
Be careful not to pipette with excessive force or pull back on the plunger when
removing the pipette from the hole. Be careful not to inject a bubble into the
sample injection hole.
