| Sodium, Potassium | Two level when batch is started, one level with each sample(Inbuilt) | Do 2 level Qc 5 times when fluid pack refilled and 2 level Qc at 8 AM ,3 PM , 10 PM | 3 calibrator CUPS of 1 ml X 5 times replicate and 3 QC cups of 1ml x 5 times replicate. After running the cups do check that around 500 ul sample is left in the cups which can be reused later. the Due to difference in expected dimension of HITACHI cup and real dimension of eppendorf cup, aspiration of 70ul is error prone if residual volume is less than 400 ul | RIQAS_monthly | Why in measurement of electrolyte do we take more than 400 ul serum for doing replication ? hitachi_cups.odt |
