HumaLyzer Primus | User manual

OPERATION 25

Set all parameters:

1. Test name
The system allows 60 tests to be set, including approximately 39 fixed tests.
Users can define the remaining tests.

2. Select test method

End-point method, two-points method or kinetics method. Choose the
method using the ◄► key.
• End-point method: In the end-point method, the reaction reaches the
end point after a period of time by mixing reagents and sample. The end
point is indicated when, for example, the reaction fluid no longer chang-
es colour or absorbance. At that time, the absorbance value of the reac-
tion fluid and concentration of the reaction solution can be obtained on
the basis of the Lambert-Beer Law. The kits for some tests require that
tests use dual wavelength, which allows some interference factors to be
eliminated. The instrument supports the dual wavelength test method.

• Kinetics method: In the kinetics method, the instrument continuously

measures the change of absorbance of the reaction fluid after mixing
reagents and sample. The change of absorbance should be measured in
the linear segment of the reaction curve only. The delay time is used to
exclude the non-linear segment of the reaction curve, no measurement
points are taken here. During the measuring time, the instrument records
one measurement point per second and calculates the average change of
absorption (ABS/min). The concentration result can be obtained on the
basis of the Lambert-Beer Law by multiplication of the average ABS/min
with the calibration factor.

• Two-points method: The two-points method test is a special type of the

kinetics method test. In this method, the difference in the absorbance
value at two points in the linear section is measured once the absorb-
ance value begins to change linearly. One measurement point is taken
after the delay time and at the beginning of the measuring time, and the
second point at the end of the measuring time. This allows the concen-
tration of the reaction solution to be obtained.

11. Delay time

Enter the delay time for the test process. The delay time is the time between
aspirating the sample to the flow cell and the actual test start.

! Note:
A certain time delay is necessary in order to ensure that the test samples are
at a stable temperature and to eliminate bubbles in the flow cell. The time delay
is 5 seconds for most end-point method tests. The time delay should not be less
than 10 seconds on kinetics method tests below 25°C. The time delay should
not be less than 12 seconds on kinetics method tests below 30°C. The time delay
should not be less than 15 seconds on kinetics method tests below 37°C.
