Use an automated pipette linked to the analyzer, or manually pipette the required volume of starter reagent (e.g., 100 µL of Thromboplastin for PT) into the cuvette.

15 sample positions and 2 reagent positions.

Based on shared user experience, the daily workflow includes: Power on the system and let it initialize. Warm reagents to 37°C . This ensures stable incubation conditions. 🟢 2. Calibration & Quality Control: Perform daily calibration using manufacturer-provided calibrators and run normal and abnormal controls to validate performance before running patient samples. 🟢 3. Sample Preparation: Centrifuge citrated blood samples to obtain platelet-poor plasma and use precision pipettes to transfer the sample into reaction cuvettes, with a minimum plasma volume of 150 µl . 🟢 4. Loading and Measurement: Place the cuvette with plasma into the measuring channel and close the cap, then add the start reagent ; the auto-start function detects the mixture and begins timing. 🟢 5. Reviewing Results: After detection, the device automatically calculates INR, %, ratio, mg/dl, or g/l . Verify the results on the screen, print them, or export them directly to your Laboratory Information System (LIS).

Turn on the power switch located at the rear of the device. Allow the instrument to incubate for at least 15 to 20 minutes until the screen indicates that the heating blocks have reached a stable 37°C (±0.5°C). Step-by-Step Operating Instructions 1. Reagent and Sample Preparation

Ensure the power switch on the rear panel is in the position.

To ensure the longevity of the optical units and the accuracy of the heating block, the Coadata 504 requires a disciplined maintenance schedule. Daily Maintenance

The Coadata 504 user manual PDF is a detailed guide that covers various aspects of the balance's operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The manual is divided into several sections, including:
