Setting Up a Clinic Lab for an FBC Machine
Everything to prepare before the analyser arrives — bench, power, tubes, waste, staff and records — so the first result on day one is a reliable one.

Space and services
| Need | Why |
|---|---|
| Stable bench away from sunlight and heat | Analysers and reagents are temperature-sensitive |
| Dedicated power point and a UPS | Power dips abort runs and can damage electronics |
| Shelf or cupboard for reagents | Store at the temperature on the label; rotate stock |
| Sink and waste arrangement | Analyser waste and sharps need proper disposal |
| Network or USB link to your clinic system | Results go straight to the patient record |
Sample handling
- Collect venous blood into EDTA (purple-top) tubes, filled to the line.
- Mix gently by inversion straight after collection; never shake.
- Test within the time the analyser maker recommends.
- Use the pre-diluted mode for finger-prick samples where available.
- Label every tube at the bedside.
People and records
- Train at least two staff so leave does not stop testing.
- Keep a daily QC log, maintenance log and reagent lot record.
- Agree which flagged results go to an outside lab for a blood film.
- Keep the analyser’s MDA registration details on file.

Frequently asked questions
Does an FBC machine need a separate room?
No. A clean, stable bench in a staff-only area is usually enough for a compact analyser.
Do I need a UPS for a haematology analyser?
It is strongly recommended. Power interruptions can abort runs, waste reagent and stress the electronics.
How is analyser waste disposed of?
Follow the manufacturer and your clinical-waste arrangement; waste contains blood and reagent and must not simply go down an open sink without guidance.
