5.7 Analyzing the Sample (Micro Pipette Adapter, MPA)
(continued)
Collection
methodology
Samples can be analyzed using the MPA from both venous and capillary blood
specimens.
For venous collection, see Section 5.1 and steps at the end of this section for details
of sample handling and preparation.
For capillary collection, follow steps below and the procedure for optimal collection
of capillary blood specimens given in the CSLI standard H04-A6 "Procedures and
devices for the collection of diagnostic capillary blood specimens". (For latest edition
of this standard go to
www.clsi.org
.)
Starting procedure
Follow the procedure below to operate MPA:
Step
Action
1
Choose List, Sample, or Main menu to begin sample analysis. Analyzer must be in one of
these operation modes to aspirate.
2
Pull out the MPA adapter. (The instrument will give an instruction to put back the MPA
adapter to start).
3
Remove the previous sample micropipette. (If applicable)
4
Place the adapter on the table.
Puncture site preparation for capillary blood collection
Refer to laboratory protocol.
Important
Due to PLT adhesion to tissue and capillary walls and imprecision in preparation and
blood draw procedures, discrepancies between capillary and venous blood values
may occur on the following parameters:
o
PLT may be lower in capillary blood by 5-10%
o
WBC may be slightly elevated if PLT clumping occurs
Drawing blood and sample preparation:
Step
Action
8
Follow lancet packaging insert for instructions on proper use. Puncture middle or ring
finger, using the lancet.
