4-8 Running a Sample
8. Adjust the sampling depth if needed. If the sample fill is adequate, use the 0 mm sampling
depth. However, if the sample tube is less than half full and a new draw cannot be performed,
or the values resemble a blank and an E Warning is present, lower the sampling depth to
-2 mm.
a. Select the Sampling Depth field.
b. Select the appropriate sampling depth (If using false-bottom tubes,
+5 mm
may be
needed.)
9. Select Run .
10. When prompted:
a. Slowly invert the tube 10-15 times to mix well.
b. Remove the cap from the sample tube, and place the tube

The sample is taken into the HM5 and analysis begins. The CBC
process takes approximately 4 minutes for a five-part differen-
tial, and 3 minutes for a three-part differential.
When complete, results are displayed on the screen, and trans-
mitted to a printer and/or the PMS, depending on configuration.
(If the analyzer is not set to print results automatically, print them by selecting
Print
.)
If warning flags occur for the blanks or sample results, they will be indi-
cated as shown in the example at right. See the Troubleshooting section for
resolutions.
If results are out of range they will be indicated as follows:
1. Results above the species reference range are highlighted and
marked with a plus sign ( + ).
2. Results below the species reference range are highlighted and
marked with a minus sign (
