SAMPLE ANALYSIS

5.5 PREPARATIONS BEFORE ANALYSIS

5.5.1 Blood collection
The human blood venous sample must be collected in an EDTA K2 or K3 (Ethylene Diamine Tetracetic Acid, two or tri
potassic) tube in sufficient quantity. The CBC and 5 part diff results are available up to 48 hours after the blood draw
and if the sample is stored early at 4 to 8°C (more flags may occur).
The results and/or the number of flags may be affected in case of too much sampling in the same tube, around 20 times
in function of the type of blood (an aged and/or abnormal blood can be altered before 20 samplings).

A volume of insufficient blood for the quantity of anticoagulant may involve an erroneous result.

5.5.2 Blood sample collection tube

The following table shows the type of sample collection tubes available with the MYTHIC 22 AL.

The use of another type of sample collection tube may destroy the sampling needle or give false
results, please contact your Orphee’s representative before using this different type.

The more important close tube characteristics are the length and diameter for the tube holder, the cap which contains
the rubber membrane for the piercing module.
The close tubes serial numbers below are showed only as examples, please contact your tube vendor for more details
about EDTA and VACCUM contain.
The minimum volume of blood required in the sample tube is 300µl.
