1.1 Introduction
This manual assumes a general understanding of the Transasia's, fully automated analyser XL300. It is
meant to compliment the XL300 operators Manual. If the reader encounters areas that are not fully
explained, Please refer to the operator's manual.
This manual does not intend to teach troubleshooting skills. It is designed to provide a competent
service engineer trained on the XL300, with the information necessary to maintain the XL300.
Certain sections of this manual like electronics, hardware etc. are subject to change. New revisions of
these documents will be sent as Engineering change records /Technical bulletins to the authorised
distributors of XL300
Optimum performance of the analyser is guaranteed only by the use of genuine parts, supplied by
Transasia.
Transasia will not be responsible for failures associated with the use of unauthorised parts or
modifications carried out by the distributor or customer.
In case of problems beyond the scope of the service engineer, Transasia is available for assistance and
at the following.

XL300
The XL300, designed with the needs of modern clinical laboratories in mind, easily fits into any
laboratory environment. The XL300 analyser is a fully automated, random access, time optimised,
patient sequential discrete computerised chemistry analyser. Once programmed, it is a walk-away
system. The analyser features user-friendly operation with minimum operator intervention. It is a highly
sophisticated system and therefore it is of utmost importance that the operator and service personnel
read the instructions and becomes familiar with the operation theory.
The working unit comprises of a State of the art Photometer and sophisticated robotics combined with
an Operating Console and Data processing unit. This unit can also be connected to LAN. The DPU
provides a schedule to the Analyser, after executing the schedule as per the programmed sequence,
the photometric results are then sent to the DPU where they are processed, stored and then reported.

The robotics consist of a Sample arm, Reagent 1 arm, a Reagent 2 arm, Stirrer assembly, Cuvette
Rinsing Unit, Sample tray, Reagent tray, Reaction tray and three Digital Dilutor’ s one each for sample,
Reagent 1&2.
The sample tray consist of two Sample Disks, one for loading routine and stat patient samples with a
total of 50 positions and the other for loading 2 Blanks, 8 Controls, 2 blanks, 2 ISE, and 20 Calibrators.
Routine samples can be loaded as primary tubes on sample cups.
Both reagents and samples have a Barcode identification system. Bar coded sample tubes provides
positive sample identification and minimises risk of biological hazards. Additionally the analyser is
accompanied with a competitive 'Touch Screen' colour monitor (optional).

8. Primary tube sampling with bar code identification
9. 50 position reagent tray with built-in cooling
10. Permanent hard glass cuvettes
11. Economical 200 µl reagent consumption/test
12. Barcode for sample and reagents

The XL300 Sample tray ...flexibility and convenience

The specially designed “Twin layered” sample disk of XL300 provides unmatched flexibility and
convenience; the routine rack has positions to accommodate up to 50 routine samples. The standard
rack has 32 positions for 20 standards, 2 blanks and 8 controls and 2 for ISE. For large batch of stat
samples, the 32-position stat rack simply replaces the standard rack, there by maximizing the number
of sample positions. The sample tray accommodates standard tubes of 5, 7 or 10 ml, 2ml sample cups
and 500µl stat cups.

The XL300 reagent tray offers a wide choice of on-board tests

The XL300 offers up to 50 single reagent bottles can be loaded at any time. All reagents are
refrigerated to ensure extended stability. The wide choice of on board reagents eliminates the need for
sample splitting and cuts down the turn around time of reporting.

The XL300 economy ...quick returns without compromise

The XL300 uses permanent hard glass cuvettes, thereby eliminating recurring costs of disposable
cuvettes. Reagents requirement of just 200 µl/test, maximises the number of tests per rack. Deionised
water requirement of just 8 litres/hour saves pre-installation costs of an on line de-ioniser plant.

The XL300 bar code positive identification

The bar-coded reagents and sample identification minimises programming time. Bar coded sample
tubes provides positive sample identification and minimises risk of biological hazards.

The XL300 optical system ....ensures reliability of results

The XL300 uses a high resolution, flat field, optically corrected diffraction grating to ensure high degree
of photometric accuracy. The user can select 12 available wavelengths, from 340 nm - 750 nm to cover
the entire clinical chemistry application range.
The long life quartz halogen light source and the photodiode array complete the photometric system of
the XL300.

OTHER FEATURES OF XL300 :

Unique soft start and stop of all mechanical assembly including reagent/ sample probes & rotors,
Ensures smooth operation of all assemblies.

Software routines provide the user with all functions to run the analyser.

The user-friendly software prompts the operator by asking questions.

A vertical obstruction detection (VOD) system of XL300 detects obstructions and protects the needles
from damage.

Dual probe liquid level detection ensures accurate level detection.
