4.3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Please follow our environmental and electrical suggestions to ensure the accuracy and
precision of analyzer and to maintain high level of safety for your personnel. The proper
location is an important consideration as an improper location can lead to malfunction of
the analyzer.
Since the analyzer is comparatively smaller, it can be comfortably accommodated

on any standard sized table, and the waste bottle should be placed on the same level or
below the level of analyzer.
Remember that minimum 30 cm. space should be maintained between the rear panel
and the wall to allow for heat dissipation. Also the ventilation present at the rear and
bottom of the instrument should not be blocked as it is required for proper Air
circulation.
Please ensure while taking any electrical measurement, the multimeter used must
have been calibrated and should possess valid calibration identification traceable
to National/International standards.
PROBLEM/s resulting from the relocation of the analyzer done by unauthorized service
representative are not covered under warranty.
Note: Installation should be done by properly trained personnel only.
4.4. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage and Frequency: Stabilized Single phase AC mains supply of 110/230 V ± 10%,
50 / 60 Hz.
Plug Points: 3 Numbers of 5 Ampere sockets should be available near the installation
desks. (Normally only one socket is required per analyzer and 2 extra sockets are
recommended for using any measuring equipment and engineering tool if required
while servicing).
Grounding: Perfect earthing must be provided at power source with all applicable local
requirement (A grounded, power plug only should be used. The voltage between earth
and neutral should not exceed more than 5 VAC). Failure to properly ground the
analyzer bypasses important safety features and may result in an electrical hazard.
Always ensure that the ON/OFF switch is easily accessible to the user in case of
emergency switch OFF.
Heavy-duty electrical devices like Air conditioners, refrigerators, oven’s etc., should not
be operated on the same electrical lines as the analyzer.

4.5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Unpack the accessory box.
2. Remove the waste bottle and place it on the table.
3. Direct the peristaltic pump tubing coming out from the analyzer into the waste
bottle.
4. The analyzer comes equipped with an external power adapter and one three/two
pin power cord (with earth terminal) for Mains supply.
5. Connect the 3/2 pin cord (with earth terminal) of the external power adaptor to
the mains socket and check the output of the adaptor, it should be within ± 0.5 V
range.
6. Proper use of the appropriate power cord assures adequate grounding for the
system. Failure to properly ground the analyzer bypasses important safety
features and may result in an electrical hazard.
4.6. PRINTER AND INSTRUMENT COMMUNICATION INSTALLATION

to any available USB port provided at the rear of the analyzer.
4.8. 1D BARCODE INSTALLATION

Switch off the analyzer before connecting USB 1D Barcode. Then connect to any
available USB port provided at the rear of the analyzer.

5. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The analyzer works on the Beer – Lambert’s Law which state’s that “In absorbance
spectrophotometer, when the light is incident on the colored solution the amount of light
absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution with the constant
path length”
A concentrated beam of light is passed through filter and is incident on flow cell.
Amount of light transmitted through the flow cell is measured by the photometer. This
signal is further amplified and converted into digital form for data processing and
analysis.
5.1. MODES OF OPERATION

The analyzer is capable of performing analysis using the following modes.
5.1.1. ABSORBANCE MODE

The optical density reading in the range of 0 – 3 O.D. can be measured directly on the
analyzer by selecting appropriate wavelength.
5.1.2. END POINT LINEAR MODE

Results are directly obtained after the analyzer has been calibrated using a standard
/calibrator of known concentration or using Factor. This mode is used for all routine
End-Point assays.
5.1.3. FIXED TIME LINEAR MODE

Two readings at any fixed interval are used for the calculation of results. It is also
referred to as Pseudo Kinetic assay. Results are directly obtained after the analyzer has
been calibrated using standard /calibrator of known concentration. A direct calibration
factor can also be used for calculation of results in this mode.
5.1.4. KINETIC (RATE) LINEAR MODE

The change in absorbance over a given time is monitored and recorded to calculate the
result of any enzyme reaction. The result obtained is followed by a graphical
representation of the reaction. This mode is used for kinetic assays.
5.1.5. SAMPLE BLANK LINEAR MODE

In this mode the concentration (End-Point) of the sample is obtained after sample
blanking. This mode is generally used for those test methods whose results are greatly
affected by Icteric, Lipemic or Haemolysed samples; the sample absorbance is
obtained after subtraction of sample blank absorbance.
5.1.6. CONCENTRATION (NON-LINEAR) MODE

The concentration is obtained from a non-linear graph, plotted by the analyzer
using a maximum of ten standards of increasing or decreasing concentrations
including zero standard (with concentration zero). This mode is useful for Hormone
assays.
The concentration (non-linear) mode is of the following types:
a) Multi Point Non-Linear
b) Fixed Time Non-Linear
c) Rate Non-Linear
d) Sample Blank Non-Linear

Following curve types are available to obtain the non-linear graph,

a) Point to point
b) Exponential
c) Cubic Spline
d) Logit Log
5.1.7. COAGULATION MODE

This mode is used for performing common Coagulation tests like Prothrombin Time
(PT) or Partial Thromboplastin (PTT) etc. The final result is obtained in seconds.
5.2. READING THE FLOWCELL/CUVETTE

The internal volume of the flowcell is 18 μl. The flowcell holds the different reaction
Mixtures/samples whose absorbance, change in absorbance is to be measured. The
flowcell is inserted inside a block, which is heated in metallic thermostat by peltier
effect. The light beam from the halogen lamp enters the transparent wall of the flowcell
and reads the absorbances of the coloured solutions. This is also referred to as
reading area of the flowcell; the path length is 10 mm or 1 cm. Alternately, a 10 mm
cuvette can also be used in place of Flowcell. For proper reading, minimum volume of
solution inside the cuvette(whose absorbance is to be read), should be 400ul.
The diagram of the flowcell is as shown below:
5.3. CARRYOVER AND ASPIRATION VOLUME

Carryover is the influence of a solution, which has been flushed out from the flowcell, on
the absorbance readings of the solution that is aspirated next. The major contributing
factor to the carryover is the dead volume of the flow cell. Flow cell volume is only 18 μl
and hence the minimum recommended Volume for Aspiration is 400 μl.
In order to remove carry over effect completely, facility to aspirate air after each
aspiration is given. So after every aspiration, maximum 160μl air is aspirated by
peristaltic pump.
The aspiration volume is programmable from 200 – 2000 μl.
For Rate A and Two Point mode, extra air(maximum upto 500 μl) is aspirated after
displaying the result. However, the Air Purge between samples is optional and the
same can be enabled/disabled from System Setup Menu.
NOTE: It is recommended to use an aspiration volume of at least 400 μl for better
accuracy and minimize carryover.
5.4. CALCULATION OF THE KINETIC TEST RESULTS

The Kinetic test results are derived from mathematical calculations, which
Is explained below.
The sample under examination is measured at the end of the aspiration into flowcell.
For result calculations, Absorbance at the first Read Time is considered as the initial
absorbance (after the end of incubation). All the subsequent readings are stored in the
memory at the rate of one reading every second during the whole period of the
analysis. All the acquired values describe a curve which will be divided into as many
segments as are delta absorbance values, which have been chosen by the number
entered in the parameters “READ TIME” and “READ NUMBER” (TOTAL READ.T =
READ T * READ NUMBER).
The result of the analysis is obtained by use of linear regression equation, performed on
the extremes of these segments.
5.5. ADDITIONAL CUVETTE HOLDER

The analyzer’s main cuvette holder can accommodate 3 types of cuvette namely,
a) 18 μl flowcell.
b) 10 mm Square Cuvette
c) Round, reusable, 6 mm glass tube with adapter for coagulation
The analyzer is also provided with one Additional Cuvette Holder to hold the
Flowcell when either Square Cuvette or round glass is used as reading device in
the main cuvette holder.
