* With regards to starting sample volume, it is recommended that the entire sample should be processed within 30 minutes. It has been observed that there is a reduction
in the recovery when processing times exceed 30 minutes. The recommended upper-end run volume as shown in the concentrating pipette tip selection guide and time of
30 minutes is a general recommendation and may be dependent on sample matrix and target organism. See Section 10 for full part number list.
