Abstract
A blood analyzer system is provided with improved slide making capability by coupling a blood analyzer apparatus to an automatic slidemaking apparatus by means of a clinically effective blood specimen transport assembly, which includes a blood conduit forming a curvilinear flow path that imparts a substantial angular velocity component to blood moving therein. The system enables a blood analyzer portion and a smear slide portion of a given sample to be aspirated with physical and temporal proximity.
