What is SwizzleStick: A novel positive displacement microliter diluting device about?
The SwizzleStick, a simple positive displacement device for dispensing a microliter volume of sample from a microhematocrit capillary tube. is described. Because it is essential!y a diluting device, a dye dilution test using both aqueous and protein-containing solutions of sodium sulfobromophthalein was devised to test the accuracy and precision of the SwizzleStick. The mean of the absorbances of IO replicate I in 201 SwizzleStick dilutions. made by dispensing 20 ~1 of aqueous dye solution into 4.0 ml of buffer dispensed with a certified grade A volumetric pipet. was 0.216, SD 0.0005. CV 0.24% while the mean of the absorbances of IO readings of a single bulk I in 201 dilution made with certified grade A glassware (I .O-ml volumetric pipet, 200-ml volumetric flask) was 0.216. SD 0.0004. CV 0.19%. Repeat studies using dye solution containing 6% human albumin showed that the volume dispensed by the SwizzleStick is not affected by the viscosity of plasma. ' This device is being protected under British patent No. 04072176 and by equivalent applications ftled in other countries.
