5 Loading Consumables
5.3 Loading Mixing Cups
Mixing cups are necessary for measurements requiring dilution (refer to Section 3.6) and CRP
measurements (refer to Section 3.7). Furthermore, mixing cups are also necessary when urine (U)
is selected for the sample type during an ISE measurement because measurement is performed
automatically at 2x dilution. (Refer to Section 3.5) Check the quantity of mixing cups on the LCD be-
fore measurement. If necessary, load new mixing cups. Each measurement uses one mixing cup. If
no mixing cups remain, a measurement cannot be run.
WARNING:
During sample application, tap the [STOP] button to stop application, and then load the mixing
cups. Loading is unsafe during sample application because the sampler and the consumable disk
are moving.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when handling used mixing cups to avoid biohazards.
