NOTE: If an 844, 845, 854, 855, 864, or 865 detects insufficient sample in the
measurement module, the system analyzes the sample as a microsample. If you
want the system to analyze a different set of parameters for the sample, press
Change Parameters to select another panel. Refer to Selecting Parameter Panels,
page 2-29, for more information.
BIOHAZARD: Refer to Appendix A, Protecting Yourself from Biohazards, for
recommended precautions when working with biohazardous materials.
CAUTION: Insert the fire-polished end of the capillary tube into the sample port to
prevent damage to the capillary seal.
1. Prepare the sample and insert the fire-polished end of the capillary tube into
the sample port, as shown in Figure 2-3.
