system principle

random access, bench-top open system with 24 wavelengths available for applications. incorporates a

concave holographic grating/diode array spectrophotometer with a spectral

response from 340-740 nm. wavelengths of 340, 380, 405, 440, 465, 475, 490, 500, 512, 525,

540, 550, 560, 575, 585, 600, 610, 630, 640, 650, 675, 685, 700, 740 nm

are standard. control of sample and reagent handing, assay and data processing

is fully automatic through an ibm compatible 486 computer with keyboard and

fourteen inch color display. tests are processed at a rate of over 140 tests

per hour with workload throughput rate of about 130 tests using synermed reagents

and applications. the system is open for the addition of tests which may be added

through parameter settings entered through the keyboard.

reagent storage

reagents for up to 24 methods can be stored "on-board". over 100 additional methods can be pre-programmed and se-lected through bar code or keyboard.

sample presentation

there are four options for sample presentation:

sample tray for 42 disposable cups

sample tray for 42 seventy-five mm primary collection tubes

sample tray for 72 micro cups

stat samples can be added at any time

patient identification and workload scheduling

pre-printed barcode labels for sample tubes may be used or ma be generated through

an optional printer using an optional utility installed on the system

duplicate barcode labels or sequential numbers may be used to label sample tube

ａnd requsistion.each speciman may be identified by barcode wａnd reader or its

number may be entered through the keyboard

test se-lection by patient sample can be achieved by wａnd reading a barcoded

test se-lection sheet. profiles may be se-lected in the same way. alternatively, the keyboard can be used with a test se-lection utility.

fully documented final reports including test results, normal limits, patient

name, physician, and identification number are printed in a format which can be se-lected and modified by the user.

extensive archiving of results is provided using the system"s hard disk.

on-line quality control

graphing of results, trends, and levy-jennings plots using 60 day fifo (first in first out)method, are standard.

assoy modes

assay modes for end point, zero order kinetic, first order kinetic, and

ummunochemical reactions are provided. reagent volumes of as little as 180
