Discs can be used directly from the refrigerator without warming.
Attach a new tip to the end of the pipette.
2
Fill the pipette without air bubbles or air gaps with sample.
3
Tilt the disc to 45° with the sample port above the fill line, so that the
4
entire sample will flow into the sample chamber.
Place the pipette tip into the disc's sample chamber and release the
5
sample. Make sure to keep the pipette plunger pressed down until the
pipette tip is removed from the sample port.
Discard the pipette tip into a biohazard container.

Clean the reagent disc. Use a lint-free tissue to remove any sample
7
spilled on the outside of the disc, taking care that the tissue does
not withdraw any sample from the sample port. Dispose tissue in a
biohazard container.
Beside the micropipette, any other transfer device can be used to dispense
approximately 100 μL of sample into the disc via the sample chamber.
Note:
When using lithium heparin whole blood tubes, gently invert them
several times before use.
