Transfer Pipette Configuration
20µL Dual-Bulb Plastic Transfer Pipettes (single use)
Squeeze the upper bulb to draw up 20µl of QC material into the pipette.
Hold the pipette over the sample application area of the Test Strip and squeeze the upper bulb for a second time to dispense 20µL of QC material on to the Test Strip.
Note: the tip of the pipette will be tapered.
20µL Single-Bulb Plastic Transfer Pipettes (single use)
Squeeze the bulb, drawing up QC material to where the tip of the pipette tapers as indicated by the arrow on the diagram. Take care to fill only the tip of the pipette to collect approximately 20µL of QC material.
Ensure no air bubbles are present within the pipette tip and that the whole tip of the pipette is filled with QC material.
Hold the pipette over the sample application area of the Test Strip and squeeze the bulb for a second time to dispense 20µL of QC material on to the Test Strip.
Note: The Platform will audibly confirm that sample is detected and prompt the user to close the door.
Calibrated Laboratory Pipette (set to 20µL, with appropriate tips)
Follow the applicable manufacturer's recommendations for correctly dispensing exactly 20µL of QC material to the Test Strip.
