5 Loading Consumables
5.4 Loading Diluent
Diluent is necessary for dilution measurements (refer to Section 3.6) and CRP measurements (refer
to Section 3.7
). Dilution and CRP measurements each require a specified diluent. Before measure
-
ment, refer to the technical documentation for the diluent to be used. 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)
WARNING:
During sample application, tap the [STOP] button to stop application, and then load diluent. Load-
ing is unsafe during sample application because the sampler and the consumable disk are mov-
ing.
IMPORTANT:
Use specified tube for the diluent. Otherwise, measurement errors or malfunctions may occur.
The specified tubes for diluent are the FUJI PLAIN TUBE (1.5 ml and 0.5 ml).
IMPORTANT:
The diluent for CRP measurements evaporates progressively, and the concentration of the fluid
may affect the measurement values.
Replace diluent for each test.
NOTE
For each CRP measurement, 0.1 mL of diluent is necessary.
NOTE
Configure the type of diluent container to be used via [Tube setting for diluent & reference
fluid] in Mode function for administrator (refer to

1. Prepare the diluent.
Pour the following amounts into each type of
FUJI PLAIN TUBE.
For 1.5 mL tube: 1.0 to 1.5 mL
For 0.5 mL tube: 0.3 to 0.5 mL
NOTE

When 0.5 mL of diluent was poured into
a FUJI PLAIN TUBE of 1.5 mL, one dilu-
tion is possible for a CRP measurement.
