Unlike optical analyzers that measure changes in light transmission, the Start 4 utilizes an electromagnetic mechanical detection system. This eliminates optical interference caused by hemolyzed, icteric, or lipemic plasma. How the Mechanical System Works Unlike optical analyzers that measure changes in light

: A steel ball is dispensed into each cuvette. The analyzer measures the change in sample viscosity by tracking this ball's oscillation between magnetic transducers.

: Use a 1:10 dilution of 5% sodium hypochlorite to clean, then rinse and dry with a slightly moistened paper tissue.

: Place cuvettes with samples into the incubation area and start the corresponding timer (A–D). Measurement : Transfer the cuvette to a measurement channel.
