those having problems at the moment - is it worth you comparing batch numbers on tubes just in case they are all the same batch if its just a recent thing for you?

same problem. But only within last 2 months it is becoming increasly more problematic even after jumping around the lab "vigourously" shaking the tube. whenever we ring about issues with the lasercyte it seems to be "our" fault...... although our routine hasnt changed in years. so why problems now???

thanks glad its not just us having the troubles as idexx seemed to make out it ws just a local problem.

The Procyte is a much better machine than the Lasercyte.....the vacutainers must always been stored upright and remember to always *** the rubber lid if you syringe the blood into the vacutainer rather than stabbing through the lid and allowing the vacuum to draw the blood in......hope that makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shake and then when they are they right way up, flick the rubber bung a few times.

Yeah our results are often starred and we do everything we're told by idexx

everywhere I have worked with these (4 or 5 practices) there has been a problem in one way or another but the most common problem was that the spheres were not being recovered. It used to drive me nuts
