2.6 Preparing Samples and Racks
Before starting analysis, blood collection tubes and sample cups (for serum or urine) must be
prepared and placed in the appropriate racks. Commercial blood collection tubes may also be
used. Follow hospital or laboratory protocol when preparing the samples and racks. The type
(color) of rack used is different depending on the purpose of the analysis.
Conditions for the Sample Containers
Instruction
The sample containers should be at least 10 mm above the top surface of the rack and have an outer
diameter of at least 11.5 mm. If a sample container is used that does not meet these specifications,
analysis may not be performed. Damage to the analyzer could also occur. For more information
on proper sample container and tube sizes, refer to the “Sampling Specifications” section of the
Specifications Chapter.
Prepare the Sample and Dispense it into the Sample Containers
1. Prepare the sample containers.
2. Dispense the serum, urine, or other fluid into the sample containers. Make sure the
sample is free of clots, suspened material, and that there are no bubbles on the surface of
the samples to be processed.
OR
3. Process blood collection tubes according to standard laboratory protocol.
Prepare the Control Serum
In order to perform quality control, a control serum should be prepared in advance.
Obtain Racks
The type (color) of rack will be different depending on the type of sample to be analyzed.
Rack Types
There are six types of racks that are used in this system. A maximum of 10 sample containers
can be set into one rack.
White Rack:
Use this rack to analyze normal patient samples. For barcode analysis, samples can be
placed in any order. For sequential analysis, the sample containers are placed in order of the
sample number. For rack ID analysis:

For all methods, all of the sample containers must have a requisition, or the default profile
(#0) will be performed.
