System Overview

The cooling control system realizes the control of the magnetic circulation pump and the
Peltier through the refrigeration control board, so that the temperature of the reagent tray is
kept within the range of 2℃～8℃.

3. Cooling alarm
When the coolant float switch downs to the lowest point, or when the reagent tray
temperature is higher than 45℃, alarm sound prompts, and the alarm information prompts
in the software.

1.2.2.6 Reagent&sample barcode scanning component (optional)

The barcode scanning function is an optional function. If necessary, please communicate
with the sales staff when purchasing. The function will not be installed after the instrument
is manufactured.
The barcode scanning system (suitable for closed channels) consists of the following
components:
 Barcode scanner
 Barcode labels
 Hardware and software to control barcode scanning
The barcode was scanned by barcode scanner to obtain the reagent or sample information
and displayed on the interface. After loading the reagent and sample on the tray, put on the
cover.
Warning:
The beam emitted by the barcode scanner may cause eye damage. Please do not
look directly at the beam emitted by the barcode scanner.

1.2.3 Reaction System

The reaction system includes a reaction tray, a cover of the reaction tray, cuvettes and
reaction thermostat. The overall diagram of the reaction tray is shown in figure 1-27.
Cuvette positioning plate: The reaction tray is rotated and moved by stepping motor.
Cuvettes: Reaction cups, total is 120, using optical plastic materials.
Cuvette group: six groups, 20 Cuvettes in each group, fixed on the cuvette positioning
plate through two fixed buckles, as shown in figure 1-28.
Thermostat: Samples react with reagents in a constant temperature tank, and temperature is
monitored by a temperature control system.

Power on, the cleaning arm rises up and then drop into the cuvettes, cleaning cuvettes,
after cleaning up and stopped above the cuvettes.
Cuvettes automatic cleaning system uses cleaning liquid and pure water to clean the
reaction cup automatically to ensure that there is no cross-contamination in the test process
and keep it dry. The process of automatic cleaning is as follows:
 Clean the cuvettes with pure water and suck it dry
 Drain the cuvettes
 Wipe the cuvettes and suck it dry
After cleaning, the cleaning waste liquid flows into the waste liquid barrel through the
waste liquid pipeline. The system supports the detection function of waste liquid level.

 System Overview

When it detects that the waste liquid of waste liquid barrel exceeds a certain amount, it
gives an alarm and prompts to empty the waste liquid barrel.
When check movement, click “Instrument check”, cooperate with reaction tray rotation to

test set-up cleaning needle position. As shown .

1.2.5 Mixing System

The mixing arm consists of mixing arm and stirrer. In addition to the stirrer, the structure
of mixing arm is similar with reagent/sample arm.
As figure 1-31 shown, mixing arm consists of stepping motor, photoelectric switch, big
and small pulley, spline shaft, etc.

When power on, the stirrer rises up, swing left and right, stops at the top of cleaning
position, then fall down to the cleaning cup, when finish, back to upward side.
The initialization process is the same as the motion state after the power supply is switched
on.
During testing, the mixing arm fall vertical to cleaning position first, then swing to initial
position in reaction tray to stir reaction solution.
When check movement, click “Instrument check”, select function keys of

. Respectively, click the selected three

function keys “Cleaning”, “Reaction”, “Vertical” to adjust the mixing arm.

1.2.6 Photoelectric Colorimetric System

The photoelectric colorimetric system is located inside the analyzer and is used to measure
the absorbance of the reaction solution in the cuvettes. The system consists of an optical
system and a signal detection system. Its main function is to detect the change of light
intensity through the reactants, by the method of photoelectric converting optical signal to
electrical signals, by measuring electrical signal variation amount to reflect the change of
light intensity. Its working principle diagram is shown in figure 1-32.
Light system adopts the techniques that “first absorption then spectroscope”, wavelength
range is 340-800 nm. Simultaneous detection of single and double wavelength can be
realized.

Figure 1-32 Photoelectric colorimetric system

The optical system consists of a light source, a colorimetric system, and a spectroscopic
component, which are used to provide monochromatic light of sufficient intensity and a
stable and reliable colorimetric light path structure.
The signal detection system includes photoelectric conversion part and AD acquisition and
processing part. Its main function is to convert the intensity signal of monochromatic light
which is focused on the photoelectric conversion device after being absorbed by the
reaction product into an electric signal. After the electric signal is amplified, the
photoelectric data reflecting the intensity is output after being collected by A/D, and
transmits to the corresponding control unit to carry on the absorbance computation.
The technical specifications of the photoelectric colorimetric system is shown in the
following table:
