Diluter
The diluter is a stand alone diluter/dispenser that is programmed to dispense a final volume of
5.0ml of a 1 in 200 dilution of a sample in diluent, i.e. taking up 25
µ
l of sample and 4.975 ml of
diluent. This is useful for the dilution of clinical samples prior to aspiration in the flame
photometer.
