3.7. Incomplete Pickup of Blood Drop
Cause Solution
Spreader blade is not in contact with blood drop.
The drop was delivered behind the target area.
Deliver the drop of blood directly on the target location.
If insufficient blood is still picked up, deliver the drop slightly
before the target location (in direction of the spreader blade).
3.8. Drop of Blood Does not Spread Out
The drop of blood does not spread out when delivered and moisten the slide.
Cause Solution
Slide is dirty. Replace the slide.
Blood dispenser is held at an angle which is too
vertical.
Hold dispenser at about a 45° angle when the blood drop is
dispensed. The amount of blood which is delivered can be
controlled by the angle at which the dispenser is held.
