5.9 Analyzing the Sample (Autoloader)
Description This section describes how to analyze whole blood samples using the
Autoloader (Sampling Device).
Sample tube
description Only standard 4.0 to 5.0 ml tubes can be used in the Sampling Device. A
sample wheel adapted for Sarstedt tubes is available as an option. The
minimum volume in the closed tube should be approximately 1 ml.
Selecting Sample ID There are several ways to select the samples.

the ID number, the operator can simply place the tube in sample wheel and the ID
number will be read automatically. It is very important to line up barcode on tube with
barcode reader.

the touch screen keyboard.

To manually enter ID number press [SAMPLING DEVICE] and then [INPUT ID].

Then either scan in ID number with external barcode reader or press [INPUT ID],
type in desired ID number, and then press [OK] to accept.

After ID number is entered the next position for entry will automatically be
highlighted.
