Place the disc on a level surface and remove the lid.

Step 2
Holding the pipette vertically, dispense 4.0 mL of sample onto the center of the disc (do not hold the pipette at an angle).

Cover the entire center disc with the sample, ensuring the sample contacts all the channel openings. Capillary action will fill each well. After three seconds, replace the lid (excess sample will be absorbed).
