This tutorial video shows the instructions how to run
veterinary chemistry test items on skyla VB1 analyzer,
including the following test profiles.
Let’s quickly check if all major materials are ready
before the test can be performed.
skyla VB1 Analyzer.
Chemistry reagent disc.
Sample should be injected into the sample port.
Optical detecting area, contains
reaction wells and reagent beads.
Barcode ring, contains serial number, batch number
and valid date of reagent disc.
And pipette.
Then, before running the test, you need to
First. Prepare the sample.
Supported sample types include whole blood, plasma or serum.
For whole blood and plasma sample,
please use blood collection tube with lithium heparin.
For serum sample,
use blood collection tube with clot activator.
Please initiate the test immediately after
sample is prepared.
Second, chemistry reagent disc preparation.
Tear the foil pouch and take out chemistry reagent disc.
Hold the edge of the reagent disc to avoid
optical detecting area is contaminated.
Unwrap the paper.
Remove aluminum strip which is covering sample port on the disc.
Gently pull the end of aluminum strip outward direction along the surface of reagent disc.
OK. Let's get started with the first step
use pipette to draw 200µL of sample from
the collection tube.
Next, insert pipette tip into sample port.
Keep pipette in a vertical position 
while dispensing the sample.
and make the tip contact with 
the bottom of sample chamber,
but do not push down hard to avoid deforming the tip.
Slowly push the plunger down 
all the way to the first stop,
then, the second stop to make sure all sample 
have been pushed out of the tip.
Keep pipette plunger down.
Remove the tip from the sample port 
before releasing the plunger
to avoid withdrawing the sample from reagent disc.
Step2.
Press “start” icon on the touch screen 
to open the drawer.
and put chemistry reagent disc onto the tray,
then press “OK” icon to start analyzing.
During analyzing, you can enter
patient's ID and information.
After analyzing, the test results will be displayed 
on the screen and be printed automatically.
