This tutorial video shows the instructions how to run
veterinary chemistry test items on skyla VB1 analyzer,
including the following single assay and dual assay test.
Let’s quickly check if all major materials are ready
before the test can be performed.
skyla VB1 Analyzer.
Chemistry single assay cartridge.
Sample should be injected into the sample port.
Optical detecting area, contains
reaction wells and reagent beads.
Barcode area, contains serial number,
batch number and valid date of reagent disc.
Analysis carrier & balancer.
Pipette,
and dilution tube, contains 600 µL of diluent.
Then, before running the test, 
you need to prepare the Sample.
Supported sample type is plasma or serum.
For plasma sample,
please use blood collection tube with lithium heparin.
For serum sample,
use blood collection tube with clot activator.
Blood sample should be centrifuged 
before the test can be performed.
Please initiate the test immediately 
after sample is prepared.
OK. Let's get started with the first step.
Tear the foil pouch and
take out chemistry single assay cartridge.
Hold the edge of single assay cartridge to avoid optical detecting area is contaminated.
Then put the cartridge and balancer onto carrier-SA.
Three cartridges are required to be loaded
on one carrier-SA.
Place balancer onto other unused slots.
Step2, prepare the diluted sample.
Use pipette to draw 50 µL of sample
from the collection tube.
Sample should be taken from the clear portion 
of the centrifuged sample.
Before opening the dilution tube,
please spin it for several seconds via centrifuge 
to avoid liquid loss on the cap.
Then, open the cap of dilution tube.
Gently and slowly inject the sample into diluent tube along the upper side wall,
and make sure sample has been 
pushed out of the tip.
Close the cap tightly after injecting the sample.
And invert dilution tube for 10 times to thoroughly
mix the sample.
Step3,
inject diluted sample into 
the sample port of single assay cartridge.
Please replace a new pipette tip
before sample injection.
Use a 50 µL pipette to inject 100µL of diluted
sample into sample port twice.
Step4.
Press “start” icon on the touch screen
to open the drawer.
and put carrier-SA onto the tray,
then press “OK” icon to start analyzing.
During analyzing, you can enter the 
patient's ID and information.
After analyzing, the test results will be displayed on the screen and be printed automatically.
