2.2 For Whole Blood (Venipuncture/Fingerstick) Specimens
To use a dropper: Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen to the upper Fill Line and transfer whole blood (approximately 20uL) to the specimen well(S) of the test cassette, then add 3 drops of sample diluent (approximately 80 uL)and start the timer.See illustration below. To use a micropipette: Pipet and dispense 20uL of whole blood to the specimen well (S) of the test cassette, then add 3 drops of sample diluent (approximately 80uL) and start the timer. See illustration below.
