Procedure for Operating the Equipment
Initial Setup
- The procedure begins with turning on the equipment, which emits a sound due to its wavelength settings. The specific wavelength being set is 546 nm.
- Adjustments are made to the program settings, including concentration factors that need to be inputted correctly.
Sample Preparation
- Before starting measurements, it is essential to rinse the equipment and prepare samples properly. A minimum sample volume of 1 milliliter is required for accurate readings.
- The blank sample must be zeroed out to ensure that only the sample's concentration is measured, eliminating any interference from other solutions.
Mixing and Measurement
- Proper mixing of samples is emphasized; inadequate mixing can lead to inaccurate results.
- Hemoglobin (Hb) levels are discussed in relation to oxygen binding; incorrect handling can lead to significant errors in measurement.
Sample Analysis Process
Observations During Testing
- It’s noted that if samples are left too long without proper mixing, sedimentation occurs, affecting accuracy. Cells settle at the bottom and require re-mixing before analysis.
- Multiple samples can be tested simultaneously; however, care must be taken regarding how many blanks are used for calibration.
Final Steps
- Each participant should ensure they have sufficient blank samples prepared before proceeding with their tests.
