Holding the capillary pipette horizontal, collect
10μL of blood by filling to the black line. Do NOT squeeze the bulb
to assist with collection of the blood. |
|

Once the capillary pipette is filled, squeeze the
blood sample into diluent, and then squeeze it back and forth 2-3
times to rinse the blood out of the capillary pipette. Depress the
bulb and remove the capillary pipette from the vial. No liquid
should remain in the capillary. |

 |
Replace the cap on the diluent and shake vigorously
6-8 times. Remove cap and replace the vial in the tube
holder. |

Grasp the transfer pipette by the bulb and depress
the bulb completely. Insert into the diluent with the tip close to
the bottom of the vial and release the bulb pressure. |

 |
The liquid in the vial will be aspirated into the
long part of the pipette and may slightly advance into the overflow
portion of transfer pipette. The longer part of the transfer pipette
should be completely full. |

 |
Completely dispense the diluent into the sample well
of the monitor. |
