Accepted blank values are essential for proper calibration.
Perform calibration only if all blank values came in the first region (no flags or errors).
If analysis errors occur or blank measurement is too high, an E error flag appears
along with the affected parameter and “---“ is displayed instead of results. In this
situation, perform a cleaning (see Section 7.1.).

Using Pre-diluted Mode
Pre-diluted measurement mode allows to measure insufficient sample for normal
mode, or if some parameter is out of the linearity range (WBC = 300 x 10
3
cells/µl).
Perform an external pre-dilution of the sample using clean isotonic saline solution, or
diluent reagent. Dilute the sample to 1:5 ratio (1 part sample to 5 part diluent), using
a clean sample vial. Mix it well.
To perform the analysis on a pre-diluted sample:
1. In Main menu select Measure
2. New
3. In Options, select Pre-diluted mode
4. Put pre-diluted sample into the sample adapter
5. Press START button. The analyzer will automatically calculate the results with
the 1:5 pre-dilution factor.
