Title:

METHOD OF DILUTING HIGHLY VISCOUS LIQUID

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1993/007495

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

This invention aims at speeding up dilution when an erythrocyte component as a highly viscous liquid is diluted in a dispenser for a blood sample. A diluent is poured into a diluting vessel (66) at step (212), and suction of the diluted solution is made by a nozzle chip (36) holding thereinside the erythrocyte component at step (213). A first stage of dilution is thus carried out inside the nozzle chip (36). A mixed solution inside the nozzle chip (36) is discharged at step (214), and discharge and suction are repeated at steps (215 and 216), and dilution (mixing) is completed.
