Vortex the sample tubes and place them uncapped in the carousel(s)
according to the worklist.
For accurate results, match the tubes to those listed on the printed worklist
(BD FACSCanto clinical software) or the Carousel Assignment tab
(BD FACSDiva software). Print a copy of tube assignments and use the
printout as a guide when filling each carousel.
To prevent binding during loading, make sure label thickness per tube is
less than three labels. Flatten labels completely before placing a tube in the
carousel.
