2. Measurement Process
The measurement process for the DIFF measurement module is as follows:
1. Dosing: The diluent syringe is first applied to add the diluent into the WBC bath, and then the
sample probe is used to add the blood sample into the WBC bath, where they are mixed with
LYC-2 evenly for incubation.
2. Mixing: Open Valve LV19 to generate air bubbles through the intermittent valve opening to mix
the sample well.
3. Measurement: Aspirate the incubated sample from the WBC bath using the sample syringe, then
close LV12 and open LV01, LV05 and LV08 so that the sheath flow syringe can push the sheath
fluid into the flow chamber, thereby forming a stable sheath flow. Then push the sample into the
flow chamber using the sample syringe. This is how the sample, bundled in the sheath flow,
enters the measurement section for measurement.

2. Measurement Process
The measurement process for the HGB measurement module is as follows:
1. Dosing: The diluent syringe is first applied to add the diluent into the WBC bath, and then the
sample probe is used to add the blood sample into the WBC bath, where they are mixed evenly.
After aspirating the diluted sample for the first time, LYC-1 lyse is added into the WBC bath for
incubation.
2. Mixing: Open Valve LV19 to generate air bubbles through the intermittent valve opening to mix
the sample well.
3. Measurement: The blood sample and lyse are mixed well for a complete reaction so that the
parameter voltage of the sample can be measured. HGB can then be calculated based on the
local voltage and parameter voltage according to Lambert-Beer's Law.

2. Measurement Process
The measurement process for the RBC/PLT measurement module is as follows:
1. Dosing: The diluent syringe is first applied to add the diluent into the RBC/PLT bath as the base
liquid, before using the sample probe to aspirate the sample diluted for the first time from the
WBC bath into the RBC/PLT bath.
2. Mixing: Open Valve LV13 to generate air bubbles through the intermittent valve opening to mix
the sample well.
3. Measurement: Open Valve LV18 to aspirate the sample out of the RBC/PLT bath through the
aperture by means of the negative-pressure chamber (with a negative pressure of -30Kpa). The
RBC and PLT particles generate electric pulses of various amplitudes when traveling through the
aperture, allowing the RBC and PLT cells to be counted according to the number of pulses
emitted.
4. Cleaning: To clean, open Valve LV02 and add the diluent into the RBC/PLT bath using the diluent
syringe.
5. Waste discharge: Waste is discharged by opening Valve LV13, LV15 and Pump P1.

see if any liquid flows from the bottom end of the probe.If such a flow is detected, this
indicates that perforation exists at the bottom of the probe (the liquid normally flows from the
sides. Be sure to collect the waste when pushing the liquid to the correct location, as shown
in the picture below).
Figure 2-33 Check the liquid pushing of the sample probe
b. Restore the tubing to its original status (cut off the crimped part at the front end of the
sampling tube, and readjust the tubing for installation. Make sure to check if the sampling
tubing gets into the way of other assemblies whenever the sampling assembly moves up and
down, or if it feels too tight. If this is the case, continue to adjust the sampling tubing until it
looks like it fits properly.)
5. Check for any wear and tear in the top aperture of the swab.
a. To disassemble, take off the swab's fixed jump ring.Pull out the swab's inflow and outflow
tubes.
b. Measure the upper-section aperture with a caliper; an aperture with a diameter of more than
1.71mm indicates that the swab needs to be replaced.
c. When reinstalling or replacing the swab, first put the inflow tube and outflow tube in place ,
then put on the swab (insert the probe into the swab aperture) and tap the swab's fixed jump
ring to complete the procedure.
The inflow tube is the Thin 50 tube, connected to the bottom connector; the outflow tube is the Thick
50 tube, connected to the top connector.

Functional Problems with the Main Control Panel and their Indicators
Functional problems with the main control panel are typically related to one of two causes. One
cause may be that the counting function of the main control panel cannot be realized. For example,
the digital part’s operating system on the main control panel is not operational, the FPGA program
does not load, or there is abnormal counting. The other cause refers to control failure of the motor,
50
2 Instrument Configuration
51
2 Instrument Configuration
Counting abnormalities
There are many causes that lead to counting abnormalities, and they can include problems with
main control panel problem. Counting abnormalities caused by main control panel problems
usually involve counting results of zero or overly high counting results on multiple occasions. A
counting result of zero usually results from a failure to apply the CC source to the counting bath,
while an overly high counting result is usually caused by too much noise in the analog-channel
circuit.

2. Smell. Power problems may burn out some components; an acrid smell can suggest a burnout.
Do not power on in this case.
3. Touch. Power on and touch the corresponding component on the main control panel by hand.If
the temperature feels abnormal, the component could be broken.
4. Test. The first three steps can be used to identify power overload problems on the main control
panel. Step 4 is designed for determining what has malfunctioned. Testing can also identify the
problem of circuit breakage. This step is also part of maintenance. A multimeter is used to test for
power problems.
