If you are looking for specific , calibration curves , or reagent-specific volumes for your STart 4,
The Diagnostic Stago Start 4 Coagulation Analyzer manual emphasizes the importance of calibration and quality control to ensure accurate results. The manual provides guidelines on:
The analyzer detects the exact moment the ball’s movement slows down, providing a precise clotting time. 🛠️ Operational Setup and Workflow 1. System Initialization diagnostica stago start 4 coagulation analyzer manual
Ensure all plasma samples are centrifuged according to standard laboratory protocol (e.g., 15 minutes at 2500g to obtain platelet-poor plasma).
: A metal ball is dispensed into the cuvette using the corner-mounted ball dispenser. The analyzer detects a clot when the movement of this ball is slowed by increasing viscosity. If you are looking for specific , calibration
A: Navigate in the software to: Maintenance → Needle Replacement → Select Needle N.1/2/3 . The instrument will guide you step by step; ensure you have a new needle and the cuvette mapping tool from Stago before starting.
Place the cuvettes containing the magnetic balls into the incubation wells. A: Navigate in the software to: Maintenance →
16 sample incubation wells and 4 reagent incubation positions.
Clear any used cuvettes and steel balls from the waste container. 3.2. Weekly/Monthly Maintenance
