Chapter 2 Operation Principle
2.1 Overview
This analyzer adopts the Coulter Principle to test the quantity and volume distribution of WBC,
RBC and PLT, adopts the colorimetry to measure hemoglobin concentration, and adopts the
semiconductor laser flow cell analysis technique to obtain WBC 5-part differentiation. Based
on this, the analyzer calculates the results of other parameters.
2.2 Sample Aspiration
In the Whole Blood work mode, the analyzer aspirates 20μL (CBC+DIFF mode) or 10μL
(CBC mode) whole blood sample.
In the Pre-diluted work mode, you should first blend the 20μL peripheral blood sample and
180μL diluent outside the analyzer to form a 1:10 diluted sample, and send the diluted
sample to the analyzer for sampling. Here, the analyzer aspirates 80μL (CBC+DIFF mode) or
40μL (CBC mode) diluted sample.
2.3 Diluted Sample
The sample to be analyzed, after aspirated to the analyzer, is divided into two parts, which,
through the different reagent effects during dilution, form the test samples used for WBC test
/HGB measurement, RBC/PLT measurement, and WBC differentiation measurement
respectively. According to the different needs, the analyzer provides two analysis modes, i.e.
Whole Blood and Pre-diluted analysis modes.
1) Dilution Ratio of Each Channel in Whole Blood Mode
WBC test /HGB measurement channel: 1:370
RBC/PLT measurement channel: 1:18000
WBC differentiation channel: 1:100
2) Dilution Ratio of Each Channel in Pre-diluted Mode
WBC quantity /HGB measurement channel: 1:760
RBC/PLT measurement channel: 1:24420
WBC differentiation channel: 1:250
2.4 White Blood Cell (WBC) Measurement
The basic principle for WBC testing is the electrical impedance method (Coulter Principle)
and laser scattering method.
The testing principle for the electrical impedance method (Coulter Principle) is shown in the
figure below.
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
22
During the test with the electrical impedance method, the sample being tested, after diluted,
enters the WBC test unit which has a small opening called “Detection Aperture”. The aperture
has a pair of positive and negative electrodes on both sides that are connected to the
constant current power supply. As blood cells have the features of bad conductor, when the
blood cells in the diluted sample pass through the test aperture under the constant negative
pressure, the resistance between electrodes will change, thus forms a pulse signal with the
size in proportion to the volume of the cell on both ends of the electrode. When the cells pass
through the aperture continuously, a series of electrical pulses will be produced on both ends
of the electrode. The quantity of these electrical pulses reflects the number of blood cells.
Compare the amplified electrical pulses collected with the channel voltage threshold
corresponding to the normal WBC range, and calculate the number of electrical pulses in the
WBC channel of the electrical pulse amplitude. Thus, all electrical pulses collected are
classified according to the different channel voltage thresholds, and the number of electrical
pulses in the WBC channel is the number of WBCs. The number of cells in each channel
range divided based on the pulse voltage amplitude decides the volume distribution of cells.
The two-dimensional diagram with the x-coordinate representing cell volume and the
y-coordinate representing relative cell quantity is the histogram reflecting the cell population
distribution.
In the laser scattering method, when a certain amount of diluted blood sample is injected into
the flow cell, wrapped by the sheath fluid formed by the diluent, the cells lining up one by one
pass through the center of the flow cell. When the blood cells suspending in the sheath fluid
pass through the laser detection area, the blood cells are irradiated by the laser beam, and
the nature of the scattered light produced is relating to the cell size, cytomembrane, and
refractive index of the internal structure of cell. The schematic diagram of laser scattering
method is as follows:
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
23
The small-angle, large-angle and side-angle scattered lights in the direction of laser beam
are measured, which reflect the size of blood cell, complexity of cell nucleus, and granularity
respectively. The DIFF channel scattergram is obtained based on these scattered lights, as
shown in the figure below. From the scattergram, the respective proportion of lymphocyte,
monocyte, eosinophil, neutrophil and basophil in the total number of WBCs can be obtained.

2.5 Hemoglobin Concentration (HGB) Measurement
In the colorimetric pool, after lyse is added to the diluted sample, the RBCs are dissolved,
and hemoglobins are released. The hemoglobins are combined with the lyse to form
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
24
hemoglobin compound. At one end of the colorimetric pool, let the LED light tube emit
monochromatic light with the wavelength of 550nm to irradiate the hemoglobin compound. At
the other end, the phototube receives transmission light; the optical intensity signal is
amplified and converted to voltage signal which is compared with the voltage produced by
the blank transmission light measured before the sample is added to the colorimetric pool
(that is, there is only diluent in the colorimetric pool) to obtain the HGB of the sample.
2.6 Red Blood Cell (RBC)/Platelet (PLT) Measurement
The analyzer uses the principle of impedance method to test the number of RBCs/PLTs in the
RBC analysis unit. The test unit has a small opening called “Detection Aperture”. The
aperture has a pair of positive and negative electrodes on both sides that are connected to
the constant current power supply. As blood cells have the features of bad conductor, when
the blood cells in the diluted sample pass through the test aperture under the constant
negative pressure, the resistance between electrodes will change, thus forms a pulse signal
with the size in proportion to the volume of the cell on both ends of the electrode. When the
cells pass through the aperture continuously, a series of electrical pulses will be produced on
both ends of the electrode. The quantity of these electrical pulses reflects the number of
blood cells.
Compare the amplified electrical pulses collected with the channel voltage threshold
corresponding to the normal RBC/PLT volume range, and calculate the number of electrical
pulses in the RBC/PLT channel of the electrical pulse amplitude. Thus, all electrical pulses
collected are classified according to the different channel voltage thresholds, and the number
of electrical pulses in the RBC/PLT channel is the number of RBCs/PLTs. The number of cells
in each channel range divided based on the pulse voltage amplitude decides the volume
distribution of cells. The two-dimensional diagram with the x-coordinate representing cell
volume and the y-coordinate representing relative cell quantity is the histogram reflecting the
cell population distribution.

Chapter 6 Daily Operations
6.1 Daily Quality Control
Quality Control analysis of the analyzer should be performed before sample analysis. For the
specific operations, see Chapter 9 “Quality Control”.
6.2 Sample Preparation
Blood sample collection is divided into venous blood collection and peripheral blood
collection.
Warning: Do not directly touch the blood sample, QC or calibrator. The
disposal of such items must follow the relevant SOP.
6.2.1 Venous Blood Collection
Venous blood can be collected with a vacuum negative pressure tube or with the common
collection method under ordinary pressure. Anticoagulant must be dropped to all venous
blood collection containers beforehand. At present, EDTA.K2.2H2O is the commonly-used
anticoagulant, with the content of 1.5-2.2mg/mL.
In the Closed Sampling and Automatic Sampling modes, the volume of whole blood sample
must not be less than 1mL.
6.2.2 Peripheral Blood Collection
Blood Collection Site:
For adults, the appropriate collection site is the inner side of the fingertip of the middle finger
or ring finger of the left hand; for children above half a year old, the middle finger; for infants
under half a year old, the typical appropriate collection site is the thumb or the outer side of
the bottom of the foot.
Blood Collection Method:
The peripheral blood collection specification of the health department should be followed. In
general, the local puncture method is adopted for peripheral blood collection. The typical
collection method is collection through puncture in the fingertip. The blood collection tubes
are 20μL constant volume blood collection tubes or bullet shaped blood collection tubes. For
convenient review, it is suggested to use blood not less than 30μL.
In blood collection, in the event of poor blood flow, slightly apply pressure on the far end of
the wound. Never apply force around the puncture to prevent the interstitial fluid from
entering the blood, which may impact the accuracy of the result of test and analysis.
6.2.3 Blood Sample Blending
When running a test in the Closed Sampling mode, blend the sample manually. The
suggested method is: shake the test tube up and down and rotate it for 3-5 minutes. Do not
shake it too vigorously.
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
49
Caution: (1) The sample for WBC differentiation or PLT test should be stored in the room temperature and analyzed within 8 hours after collection.
(2) If the result of PLT, MCV or WBC differentiation is not needed,
the sample can be stored in a 2℃-8℃ refrigerator for 24 hours.
The refrigerated sample can be analyzed only after it is put in the room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
(3) The sample placed still for a period of time can be analyzed only after it is blended. If the sample has been placed still for too long or is not fully blended, the accuracy of the test result may be impacted.
6.3 Sample Analysis
All articles (sample, control, calibrator, reagent, waste liquid, etc.)
and areas in contact with such articles have the potential hazard of
biological infectivity. When touching the related articles and areas in
the laboratory, you should follow the Laboratory Safety SOP and wear
the personal protective equipment (such as laboratory protective
clothing, gloves, etc.)
Warning: (1) The sampling probe is pointed and may carry blood sample,
QC and calibrator with the potential hazard of biological
infectivity, so avoid touching the sampling probe.
(2) The test object of the analyzer is blood sample. If other
substances are sucked, the analyzer may not work normally.
Caution: (1) Do not used disposable goods repeatedly.
(2) If the vacuum blood collection tube is pierced repeatedly, the
rubber tube cap may be damaged, and the debris produced may
cause inaccurate analysis result. It is suggested to pierce a
blood collection tube no more than three times.
6.3.1 Work List

a) Before analysis, sample information can be input in the worklist beforehand;
b) After analysis, sample information can be input on the Details interface.
4. To cancel the Closed sampling, click the “Next Sample” button to select the
Automatic Sampling mode.
NOTE: (1) When the system enters the Sample Analysis interface for the first time, the next
sample is the current sample.
(2) In the Closed Sampling mode, the Aspirate Key has the equivalent function to the
“Start” button on the interface.
(3) The Sample No. is generated automatically and can be changed according to the
actual situation. If the last digit of the Sample No. is a number, the Sample No.
can be accumulated automatically; otherwise, the next Sample No. will be
generated automatically by the system.
(4) If analysis is performed according to the worklist, the first entry that is not shielded
and is to be analyzed (or that is error) in the corresponding worklist is the next
sample to be analyzed in the Closed Sampling mode till the worklist becomes
empty or has no entries that are not shielded.
6.3.3 Sample Analysis in Automatic Sampling Mode
The sample analysis in the Automatic Sampling mode is performed with the autoloader. After
the autoloader is started, the analyzer will automatically complete tube rack pushing, test
tube blending, pierce, sampling and analysis, and result processing and display without
manual intervention.
Sample analysis mainly includes the following cases:
1. Neither automatically scan Sample No. or Tube Rack No. nor run analysis
according to the worklist
In System Setup, the “Analysis according to Worklist”, “Automatically Scan Sample
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
55
No.”, and “Automatically Scan Rack No.” options are not selected. Sample No. is
generated automatically or set by the user; Tube Rack No. is accumulated from 1.
The sample entries in the worklist are not impacted.
2. Not automatically scan Sample No. or Tube Rack No., but run analysis
according to the worklist
In System Setup, the “Analysis according to Worklist” option is selected, but the
“Automatically Scan Sample No.” and “Automatically Scan Rack No.” options are
not. Before starting analysis, compare the information on the sample entries in the
worklist, indicate Sample No. on the prepared sample test tube label and put the
test tube into the corresponding test tube position.
NOTE: (1) The analyzer automatically runs analysis of the samples in the worklist that are
not shielded and are to be analyzed in the Automatic Sampling mode (or that is
error) in the sequence of the sample positions.
(2) The information on the next sample is obtained from the related information on
the entry at the foremost in the worklist that is not shielded and is to be
analyzed in the Automatic Sampling mode (or that is error).
(3) For analysis according to the worklist, if the current position has a test tube and
the worklist does not have the information on this test tube, and “Obtaining of
blood sample/analysis mode failed and adopt mode for previous sample to
continue analysis” is set in System Setup, then Sample No. is automatically
generated by the system and the analysis is performed in the analysis mode for
the previous sample, otherwise this test tube will not be grabbed and will be
skipped.
(4) If “Automatically delete finished entries in the worklist” is selected in Setup, the
samples analyzed will be automatically deleted from the worklist.
3. Automatically scan Sample No. and/or Tube Rack No., but not run analysis
according to the worklist
In System Setup, the “Analysis according to Worklist” option is not selected, but the
“Automatically Scan Sample No.” and (or) “Automatically Scan Rack No.” option is
selected. The sample analysis has no impact on the sample information input in the
worklist. If the “Automatically Scan Sample No.” option is selected, affix the barcode
label with the method described in the “Barcode Label” section of this chapter. If the
“Automatically Scan Rack No.” option is selected, when the tube rack number scan
is invalid during the test, the test tubes on this tube rack will not be tested, and the
samples on the subsequent tube racks will be analyzed.
Caution: If the Sample No. displayed is “NOREAD”, this indicates the scan is invalid. You can re-input the sample number when reviewing the sample result.
4. Automatically scan Sample No. and/or Tube Rack No. and run analysis
according to the worklist
In System Setup, the “Analysis according to Worklist” option and the “Automatically Scan
Sample No.” and (or) “Automatically Scan Rack No.” option(s) are selected. After the
analysis is started, the analyzer will begin to scan Sample No. and/or Tube Rack No. and
run analysis of the samples matching the work order in sequence. If the “Automatically
Scan Sample No.” option is selected, affix the barcode label with the method described
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
56
in the “Barcode Label” section of this chapter. If the “Automatically Scan Rack No.”
option is selected, when the tube rack number scan is invalid during the test, the test
tubes on this tube rack will not be tested, and the samples on the subsequent tube racks
will be analyzed.
NOTE: (1) If the “Automatically Scan Rack No.” option is not selected, the system will look
for the entries matching the sample number scanned in the worklist and assign
the Tube Rack No. and Test Tube No. of the sample to the entry (to override the
existing information input), and the analysis status of the entry will also be
changed from “To be Run” to “Running”.
(2) If the number scanned does not match the entry in the worklist or the number
scanned is wrong, and if “Obtaining of blood sample/analysis mode failed and
adopt mode for previous sample to continue analysis” is set in System Setup,
then the sample will be analyzed in the mode for the previous sample, otherwise,
this sample will be skipped.
(3) If the Sample No. displayed is “NOREAD”, this indicates the scan is invalid. You
can re-input the sample number when reviewing the sample result.
(4) If “Automatically delete finished entries in the worklist” is selected in Setup, the
samples analyzed will be automatically deleted from the worklist.
The specific operation process is as follows:
1. Put the test tube into the test tube rack and place the test tube rack on loading
platform on the right side horizontally in sequence, with the slot of the test tube rack on
the right side. The default analysis mode is CBC+DIFF. To change the mode, click the
“Next Sample” button to open the Setup dialogue box, as shown below:
Select the corresponding analysis mode, set the start sample number, tube rack
number and test tube number, and click the “OK” button.
NOTE: (1) Start the analysis in Automatic Sampling mode, and the “Next Sample” button will
be greyed out, which can’t be changed.
(2) The tube rack number and test tube number in the “Next Sample” setup are the
start positions, and the test tubes before these positions will not be analyzed. If
the tube rack number set is 1 and the test tube number is 3, then Samples 1-1
and 1-2 on the test tube rack will be skipped, and Sample 1-3 will be analyzed.
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual
57
2. Click the “Start” button on the Sample Analysis interface or the Aspirate Key on the
front shell of the analyzer, and the analyzer will begin to push the test tube rack and
run blood sample analysis in sequence. If “Analysis according to Worklist” is
selected, the sample information will be automatically matched and saved. If the test
tube rack-test tube position where the sample is located is inconsistent with the
setting, and if “Obtaining of blood sample/analysis mode failed and adopt mode for
previous sample to continue analysis” is set, the next sample will be analyzed.
During blood sample analysis, the status bar of the software displays the status of
the current and next samples, and the green status indicator on the front shell of the
analyzer also flashes, which indicates the test is being performed. When the test is
ended, the test tube rack will be automatically pushed to the unloading tray on the
left side of the autoloader, and the result and graph of the parameter will be
displayed on a real time basis during the analysis. The figure below shows the result
when the running of the autoloader is ended (take the CBC+DIFF mode as an
example):
Click “Start”, and the button prompt will become “Stop”. Click this button, and the
autoloader will end the sample analysis and push the test tube rack in the feeding
area to the unloading tray, and will not continue to load other test tube racks to the
feeding area.
3. Sample information can be input or edited in the worklist before sample analysis, or
input or modified on the detailed review interface after the sample analysis is
finished.
4. To insert an STAT sample during the analysis in Automatic Sampling mode, click the
“STAT” button, and the autoloader will suspend operation. When the current sample
analysis is finished, the STAT Sample Information Setup dialogue box will be
popped up, and the sample compartment door will be opened automatically. You
can complete the subsequent operations according to the steps of sample analysis
in the Closed Sampling mode. After the STAT is inserted, the “STAT” button prompt
will become “Cancel STAT”. Click the “Cancel STAT” button to continue the analysis

sampling ended” can be set.
(2) If the statistical value of the corresponding statistical item in the “Statistical
Info.” dialogue box is not 0, you can click the “Details…” button to view the
sample number, test time, and sample position of the corresponding sample.
6. When the automatic sampling is ended, all test tube racks have been automatically
moved to the left slot of the autoloader, and you can take the sample away safely.
7. You can enter the “List review” interface or “Details” interface to verify and print the
sample result. Before printing, the printing can be set through “System Setup”.
NOTE: (1) When the system enters the Sample Analysis interface for the first time, the next
sample is the current sample.
(2) In the Automatic Sampling mode, the Aspirate Key has the equivalent function to
the “Start” button on the interface.
(3) If analysis is performed according to the worklist, the next sample is the sample
entry that has the same tube rack number and test tube number, that is not
shielded and is to be analyzed in the Automatic Sampling mode (or that is error)
in the corresponding worklist. If the test tube barcode scan is selected, the test
tube barcode scanned will be corresponded to the sample number of the entry
in the Automatic Sampling mode in the worklist. If the same sample number is
found, the tube rack number and test tube number in the worklist will be
updated with the actual position of the test tube.
(4) If multiple test tube racks of sample are required for the analysis of a batch of
samples, the additional test tube racks should be put into the right side slot of
the autoloader during the sample analysis, and those in the left side slot should
be taken out timely.
6.3.4 Processing of Analysis Results
The analyzer can automatically save analysis results. When the number of samples tested
reaches the upper limit of storage, the earliest entry will be overridden. The upper limit of
sample result storage is 100,000 entries.
When the result analysis is finished, the analyzer will give alarms of parameters. The specific
alarm messages include:
“↑” and “↓” on the right side of the parameter result indicate the test result is out of the
set range of reference values of the parameter, but is still in the display range.
The parameter result “:::::” indicates aperture blockage or channel blockage.

9.2 X-B Quality Control
X-B Quality Control does not use QC and runs statistical analysis according to the samples
actually tested. As the physiological change in MCV, MCH, and MCHC of RBC is very small,
the X-B mean can manage the accuracy of the system. The analyzer conducts X-B Quality
Control of 3 parameters, i.e. MCV, MCH, and MCHC. X-B Quality Control data come from
random samples and are not classified by disease. Whole blood or pre-diluted samples can
be used as sample sources. A reference range is composed of the given value and the upper
and lower limits. The change trend in the reference range of each batch of X-B values is
observed.
The analyzer stores up to 100 X-B Quality Control data. When the number of Quality Control
results stored exceeds the maximum, the new Quality Control result will override the earliest
result.
9.2.1 Setup
Click “X-B QC” under the “QC” menu and select “Setup” to enter the Quality Control Setup
interface:
HA-86 (89) User’s Manual

X-B Quality Control point is calculated, with the range of 20-200, the default of 20, and the
maximum number of groups of 100 groups.
If X-B Analysis is set to “On”, the valid results of the tested sample will be also taken as data
of X-B Quality Control analysis.
If the sample meets either of the following criteria, it will be deemed invalid and will not be
included in the Quality Control calculation:
1. Samples with the RBC result out of the linear range of the analyzer and other
parameters out of the following ranges: 50≤MCV≤150fL, 20pg≤MCH≤40pg,
240g/L≤MCHC≤440g/L;
2. Blank result;
3. Other Quality Control data analysed;
4. Error of the analyzer that impacts the sample measurement during the analysis.
The sample data are divided into groups, with each group including n samples. The mean of
each group of data is calculated. The general mean, general standard deviation (SD), and
general coefficient of variation (CV) are calculated based on the means of the batches of
data. The initial value can be set according to the empirical value. The tolerance is set to ±3%.
When the number of statistical samples reaches 400, the general mean of X-B can be set as
a target value.
The default initial values of the reference values of the parameters are:
MCV: 89.5fL
MCH: 30.5pg
MCHC: 340g/L

Chapter 10 Calibration
The analyzer has been strictly tested and calibrated before leaving factory and does not need
frequent calibration. However, the measurement results may drift due to many causes during
transport and use. The purpose of analyzer calibration is to ensure accurate test results.
In order to ensure the accuracy of measurement of the analyzer and obtain stable and
reliable test results, the analyzer must be calibrated in the following cases.
1. When the analyzer is used for the first time or reinstalled in a different place.
2. The analyzer is repaired.
3. The Quality Control results are deviated.
This analyzer supports 3 calibration modes, i.e. manual calibration, calibration with calibrator,
and calibration with fresh blood.
Six parameters, i.e. WBC, RBC, HGB, MCV, PLT and MPV, can be calibrated in the Whole
Blood mode or Pre-diluted mode.
Caution: The measurement data can be used as valid data only after the
analyzer has been calibrated.
10.1 Preparation before Calibration
This analyzer can be calibrated with fresh blood and calibrator. This analyzer has 2 sets of
calibration coefficient for the Whole Blood mode and the Pre-diluted mode respectively.
Before calibration, inspect the analyzer by following the steps described below and check
that the machine works normally. If any problem is found, stop the calibration.
1) Inspect the analyzer and the reagents to ensure the analyzer is in the normal status,
the reagents are adequate, and the materials required are complete.
2) Perform the blank check and check that the blank measurement value meets the
requirements.
3) Perform repeated measurements with the medium-level blood sample on the
Analysis interface and check that the machine works within the accuracy range.
4) Test the carry-over. The carry-over should be within the range specified for the
analyzer.
Caution: (1) The calibrator should be the commercial calibrator designated
by the Company and should be stored and used according to
the requirements. Before checking that all calibrations are
completed correctly, do not use the measurement results for
medical or clinical diagnosis.
(2) During calibration with fresh blood, perform collection,
blending, etc. strictly according to the Laboratory SOP.

interface, as shown in the figure below:
Caution: If you are a common user, you can view the calibration coefficient
on the interface only and can’t run calibration. To run calibration,
you should log out first and log in again as an administrator.
The steps of manual calibration are as follows:
1. In the Sample Analysis window, use the calibrator to perform multiple measurements (at
least thrice).
2. Record the measurement data of the item.
3. Calculate a new calibration coefficient.
Calculate a new calibration coefficient with the following formula:
4. In the “Manual Calibration” interface, select the blood sample mode and input the new
calibration coefficient in the calibration value input box.

will be automatically updated to the current date, and the operator is updated to the
username currently logged in.
6. Click the “Print” button to print the saved calibration coefficient.
Caution: The calibration coefficient input should be within 75%-125%, with
up to two decimal places. If the calibration coefficient calculated
is out of this range, check whether the sample has not been fully
blended or whether the operation is wrong, etc. Calibration can’t
be operated before the cause is determined.
10.3 Auto Calibration
When “Auto Calibration” is selected, the analyzer can automatically calculate a new
Current calibration coefficient x Reference value of calibrator New calibration coefficient= Mean of measurements

calibration coefficient after the calibrator is tested. The analyzer performs calibration in the
Closed Sampling mode. The coefficient calibrated will be automatically delivered to the
Automatic Sampling mode. Click “Auto Calibration” under the “Calibration” menu to enter the
Automatic Calibration interface.
For calibration with calibrator or fresh blood, whenever the calibration test is finished, the
analyzer will automatically make the following processing:
1. If the test value of a parameter in the current test results is out of the linear range of
the parameter, but within its display range, the calibration data will be displayed. At the same
time, a dialogue box will be popped up to prompt that the data of this calibration are invalid.
Click “OK” to close the dialogue box, and the data of this calibration in the list will be deleted
automatically.
2. If the test value of a parameter in the current test results is out of the display range of
the parameter, “---” will appear in the list. At the same time, a dialogue box will be popped up
to prompt that the data of this calibration are invalid. Click “OK” to close the dialogue box,
and the data of this calibration in the list will be deleted automatically.
