Chapter 3 - Principle
3 Principle
The Diamond is a semi-automatic coagulation analyzer, the reading principle is photometric,

it is based on a solid state source emitting at 3 wavelenghs:
• 450 nm
• 510 nm
• 630 nm
Each of thes wavelengths can be used each different test.

The Beam emitted by the solid state led is driven through a hole to a plastic cup used to hold
the plasma.
The light beam passed through the plasma-reagent solution is read by a solid state photodiode,
amplified and converted to a digita signal.
The microcomputer analyzes the data and after some mathematical calculation gives the result
to user.

Connect the power supply to the instrument and switch on.
When the power on, in the lower side of the display,

a number will indicate the temperature expressed in
degrees Celsius.
The temperature will stabilize around the 37° degrees.
Waiting 5 minutes before perform the tests
