75.0% Hazy detection
50.0% Meniscus detection
Graphic showing typical absorption values of a sample
The 'sedimentation' value is the distance in millimeters between the cells/plasma level (87.5% absorption)
and the meniscus. If there is no haze, the absorption drops quickly to a value below the 75% level. If the
distance between the 87.5% and the 75% level is less then 3mm, the report will state 'CLEAR'. If the
distance between 87.5% and 75% level is more than 3mm then the report will state 'HAZY'.
Hazy (see on page 135) reports are shown when the change from the hazy level to the cell/plasma
separation level occurs outside the given distance. The following code messages are reported/printed in
column 5.
The following 4 codes are defined:
0 Sample is clear.
1 Sample is Hazy < 10
2 Sample is Hazy < 25
3 Sample is Hazy > 25
Results with hazy aspect can be suppressed in the menu
Depending on the length of the 'hazy' area, three classes of 'haziness' are reported:
Length of
area
Reported
class
Hazy area >25 mm Hazy >25 mm
Hazy area >10 mm <25 mm Hazy <25 mm
Hazy area >3 mm < 10 mm Hazy <10 mm
Hazy area < 3 mm CLEAR <3 mm
