11. Open the ampoule by snapping off the top and immediately transfer control solution by

slowly drawing an appropriate amount of solution with a syringe or capillary tube from the

bottom of the ampoule.

NOTE:

 When using an ampoule for sample introduction, you need not transfer control

solution. Insert the ampoule into the adaptor after opening it, and directly go to step

13.

 Take protective measures when opening the ampoule, such as using gloves, tissue,

etc.

12. Insert the syringe or capillary tube into the fillport of the cartridge.

NOTE:

 When using a syringe, discard the first 2 drops of solution first, then remove the

needle from it, and finally insert it into the fillport.

 When using a capillary tube, directly insert the capillary tube into the adaptor till the

tube reaches the interface between the adaptor and the cartridge.

 To avoid inaccurate test results, make sure there are no bubbles in the sample. If

bubbles continually exist, use a new ampoule and syringe or capillary tube to collect

samples again.

13. Gently insert the cartridge into the cartridge port, and carefully press down to ensure that it

clicks into place.

For a valid cartridge, the indicator in the cartridge port will turn green, and the system will

automatically aspirate calibrant. For an invalid cartridge, the indicator will turn red, the

cartridge will be ejected and a message will pop up to prompt you.

NOTE:

 The cartridge can not be removed from the analyzer until the measurement is

complete.

 Never inject the sample. It will be aspirated automatically.
