material (i.e. plastic film).
5. Hold the center of the cuvette in the middle of the drop of
blood and wait until the cuvette is filled completely (see

DO NOT
fill from the side as this could
create air bubbles in the cuvette optic window and result
in an erroneous result.

bubbles.
DO NOT
try and top-off cuvette if not filled completely.
Repeat the process with a new drop of blood and a new cuvette.
