4. Sample Collection, Preparation and Measurement
The SPORT is a versatile instrument that allows you to manipulate the sample in
a number of different ways.
•
You can collect the blood sample using a lancette and capillary tube, or by
venapuncture into a tube or other collection device, such as a vacutainer.
•
The SPORT can be used with 2 injection devices. The YSI 1501 25
microliter syringepet, ideal for drawing samples from a blood collection
tube, and the YSI 1502 25 microliter capillary tube injector, designed for
injection directly from a YSI capillary tube.
•
The sample can be prepared for immediate assay, or for later analysis. If you
are going to preserve your sample for later analysis, there are specific
instructions that must be followed in order to insure the most accurate
results. Please refer to Appendix D Sample Preservation.
For more information on obtaining blood samples, we refer you to two
publications:

Specimens by Skin Puncture, edited by Jean M. Slockbower. National
Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, Volume 2 Number 5, pages 132-
149, 1982.

4.1 Sample Preparation
The blood from a finger or earlobe prick should be collected in a capillary tube.
If you use one of the YSI tubes, which are preset to 25 microliters, you must
inject it with the capillary tube injector. You can also draw venapuncture blood
from a vial, vacutainer, or YSI Preservative Tube with the preset tube.
If the capillary tube has a capacity greater than 25 microliters, the blood sample
must be transferred to the YSI 1501 Syringepet for injection. You can also use
the Syringepet to sample and inject blood from a venapuncture vial or
vacutainer.
The following sections instruct you in the use of both injection devices.
