Load the Analyte into the Cartridge
➢
Pipette 3-5 microliters of the sample to be measured into the analyte reservoir on the
analysis cartridge (Figure 3).
➢
IMPORTANT:
❖
Ensure that any air bubbles in the sample are acceptably positioned in the reservoir
(see Figure 2).
❖
Gently tap the cartridge on a flat surface to shift/remove any bubbles if necessary.
Figure 2.
Any air bubbles in the analyte must not occlude the bottom of the reservoir.
