General Operation
Calibration
Calibration test
Prior to use ADAM-rWBC2, calibration test MUST be performed. The calibration test
should be performed to verify if optic and auxiliary structures of ADAM-rWBC2 are com-
pletely ready for the real sample test by using Standard bead solution provided in ADAM-
rWBC kit.
The device is ready to use ONLY if the calibration result is within range as indicated on the
individual Standard bead solution provided.
Refer to a package insert of ADAM-rWBC Kit for specific instruction of use.
Leukocyte-reduced samples
Samples should be tested within 48 hours after leukocyte reduction.
A sample is mixed with r-Solution for staining. After staining, the sample is loaded into r-
Slide and left to be settled. After settling, r-Slide is inserted into ADAM-rWBC2 and count-
ed. Refer to a package insert of ADAM-rWBC Kit for specific instruction of use.
The ADAM-rWBC2 must be calibrated after each start up and at least once each day of use.
1. Let beads equilibrate to room temperature before use (~10 minutes).
2. Mix by rocking gently, including upside down.
3. Load 100 µL of the beads into the r-Slide. Let settle for 40-60 seconds.
4. Insert loaded r-Slide into ADAM-rWBC2 main device and press RUN SAMPLE to start.
WARNING
The instrument does not detect incorrectly diluted samples.
Please refer to ADAM-rWBC Kit package insert.
