Automatic Sample Stirring Function


Before absorbing urine sample, the nozzle stirs sample by absorbing and ejecting sample for a few times.
Thanks to this functions, interference by sedimentation of blood cells is decreased and correct
measurement results can be obtained.

Temperature Compensation
The recommended measurement temperature is between 20° and 25° C. However, measurement
can be performed at temperatures between 10°and 30 °C, thanks to the AX-4280’s compensation
function.

Total Diagnostics
With Color-tone & Turbidity Measurement, and Abnormal Color Detection, total urinalysis is determined
automatically. Diagnostics by visual check is no longer necessary.

Color-tone measurement
In addition to the regular test items, total of 23 color-tone is measured for each sample. The
measurement results represent tone and hue.

Turbidity measurement
Turbidity measurement function is added to the parameters. The results will be obtained as Clear, Turbid
and Excessively Turbid.

Abnormal Color Urine Detection


Abnormal color urine such as urine after a drug is taken is automatically detected. It gives "!" symbol next
to the measurement results.

Memory for 1000 Measurement Results


A maximum of 1000 Measurement Results are stored in memory by measurement types. You can reprint
or retransmit measurement results you wish easily.

Sample Control by Bar Cord

Samples loaded on the Sample Racks are measured in turn. A maximum of 50 or 100 samples
(depending on the rack loading direction) is measured at one time.

STAT Measurement
By interrupting Normal Measurement, emergency test of one sample or several samples can be
performed. To measure only one sample, use STAT Port, and to measure several samples (as
many as 7 samples), use STAT & Control Rack.
After STAT Measurement is completed, Normal Measurement is resumed.

Control Measurement
Measurement accuracy can be maintained by performing Control Measurement. Low, medium, and
high control solutions may be used.

Check Measurement
To check whether the analyzer is working properly, Check Measurement using Check Strips
provided should be performed. There are 2 grays strips and 2 white strips contained in the Check

4) Principles of measurement

Measurement of test strips is done by the Dual Wavelength Reflectance Method, and specific
gravity is measured by the Index Reflectance Method. The principles of measurement are described
below.

Measurement of Test Strips


Test Strips are fed in from the Test Strip Feeder, and set in the Test Strip Tray by the handling
function. A nozzle absorbs urine sample from a sample tube, and eject it on each Test Strip. After
60 seconds, it is measured in the Optical Unit. (Test-strip reagent and urine components react, and
the color of the test strip changes.) The Test Strip is carried to the Waste Box after measurement.

In the Optical Unit, two different ranges of wavelength from the multi-LED are irradiated on the
reacted parts of the test strip and the color-tone-compensated section. These reflected lights are
received by the 3 detectors. At that time, the combination of the wavelengths is different for each
measurement item, as shown in the table below.

Meas. item Meas. Wavelength (mm) Ref. Wavelength (mm)


PH 635 760
PRO 635 760
GLU 635 760
BLD 635 -
KET 565 760
BIL 565 760
URO 565 760
NIT 565 760
LEU 565 760

Light irradiated to the color-tone-compensation section is adjusted for interfering factors such as
amount of reflected light and color of sample.

From the amount of reflected light measured in the Optical Unit, the reflectance is calculated using
the following formula:

R = Tm ・ Cs / Ts ・ Cm

R: Reflectance
Tm: Reflective light amount with the meas. wavelength
Ts: Reflective light amount with the ref. wavelength
Cm: Reflective light amount at the color-tone-compensated section with the meas.
wavelength
Cs: Reflective light amount at the color-tone-compensated section with the ref. wavelength

However, the calculation of measurement item BLD is made for a single wavelength using the
following formula:

R = Tm / Cm

Reflectance R obtained in the formula is referred to the programmed calibration curve, and is output
as the measurement result.

1-5
Chapter 1 Outline of the Analyzer AX-4280 SERVICE MANUAL

The measurement items and their reference wavelengths are shown at right.

Finally, in order to compensate for temperature, the reflectance R is corrected using the following
formula:

Rt = R + A ( T - 25 ) ・ R 2 ( 1 - R ) 2

Rt: Reflectance after correction


A: Correction coefficient
T: Measurement temperature

Chapter 1 Outline of the Analyzer AX-4280 SERVICE MANUAL

Measurement of Specific Gravity

Specific gravity of urine is obtained by measuring the refraction angles of light that passes through
the Triangle Prism, which contains the urine sample. This is called the Refractive Index Method.

A light from LED (light-emitting diode) becomes a sliver of light through a slit and lenses. The sliver
of light goes through the Triangle Prism Cell that contains the sample, then on to the detector. The
refractive index changes according to the specific gravity of sample in the Triangle Prism Cell. Thus
the angle of the light with respect to the detector changes.

Specific gravity is obtained using the following formula:

SGX = (SGH - SGL) ・ (KX - KL) / (KH - KL) + SGL (formula 1)

SGH: Specific gravity of High Solution


SGL: Specific gravity of Low Solution
SGX: Specific gravity of sample
KH: Position Coefficient* of High Solution
KL: Position Coefficient* of Low Solution
KX: Position Coefficient* of sample

*Position Coefficient: Calculated from the data output by the detector (has a straight-line relationship
with the reflective index).

The reflective index changes according to the temperature of the sample. The value of specific
gravity is corrected using the following formula:

SGt = SGX + (TSAM - TSTD) Ct (formula 2)

SGt: Specific gravity of High Solution


SGX: Specific gravity of Low Solution
TSAM: Temperature of sample
TSTD: Temperature of Low solution
Ct: Temperature coefficient (S.G. 0.001/3℃)

If a large amount of glucose or protein is contained in the urine, the specific gravity is affected.
Therefore, with this analyzer, specific gravity is corrected by using the value of glucose and protein
concentration obtained by measurement with test strips.

Measurement of Color-tone

Total of 23 color-tone is analyzed simultaneously. The chart right shows the combination of tone and
hue.

The tone and hue of urine sample are obtained by different measuring reflectances; R (635 nm), G
(565 nm), B (430 nm), and IR (760 nm).

The Hue is obtained by the chart below.

Y: Reflectance of 430 nm
M: Reflectance of 565 nm
C: Reflectance of 635 nm
r : Reflectance of 760 nm
a: Correction coefficient

The Tone is calculated using the following formula. The result is defined in three ranges as LIGHT,
Normal, or DARK:

Y 2 M 2 C 2
