The mixer is composed of a mixing bar, bar arm and rotor, as Figure 1-12 shows.
The mixing bar thoroughly stirs the reaction mixture (reagents and sample) in the
reaction cuvette.
Figure 1-12 Mixer
For the single-reagent test, the mixer starts to work after the sample is dispensed
into the reaction cuvette. For the double-reagent test, the mixer starts to work after
the sample or the second reagent is dispensed into the reaction cuvette. The mixing
bar moves to a position above the reaction disk, lowers into the cuvette, and rotates
to mix the mixture in the cuvette. After that, the bar moves to the wash well for
cleaning and de-watering.
1.1.1.7 Reaction Cuvette Loader
The cuvette loader is composed of a cuvette feeder, manipulator and used-cuvette

bucket.
This loader loads new cuvettes to the reaction disk and dumps used cuvettes into a
bucket. The feeder is located in the cuvette compartment and transfers cuvettes to
the manipulator, which grabs the cuvettes and loads them to the reaction disk and
then unloads the used cuvettes and dumps them into the used-cuvette bucket. Open
the lower door of the analyzing unit and you will see the used-cuvette bucket in the
middle.
NOTE:
Normally, the used-cuvette bucket can hold 80 segments of reaction
cuvettes (10 cuvettes per segment). Be sure to empty the bucket in
time so that excessive cuvettes will not overflow and contaminate the
cabinet.
Disposable cuvettes are adopted as the reaction cuvettes. Ten cuvettes are bound
together as one cuvette segment. The cuvette compartment can house 30 cuvette
segments, which are sufficient for 300 continuous tests.
1-12
System Description
When all the cuvettes of a cuvette segment have been used, the reaction disk
rotates the segment to the unloading position, and then the manipulator dumps the
used segment into the used-cuvette bucket and loads the new segment. When a
segment is taken from the cuvette compartment, the cuvette feeder pushes the next
segment to the loading position.
When there are less than 10 segments in the compartment, the analyzing unit,
though keeping working, will give an alarm. Seeing the alarm, you should, if you still
have more tests to do, add more segments to the compartment.
When all the segments in the compartment are used, the analyzing unit will stop first
loading cuvette segments, and then stop dispensing samples when all the segments
on the reaction disk are used. But it will keep working until all the scheduled tests are
done.
Present the cuvette segment to the entry of the cuvette feeder as Figure 1-13 shows
and gently push it toward inside. Load all the segments one by one until they are all
loaded. When you are done, click the Load Cuvette button (refer to 4.1.4.2 Reaction
Disk tab for details) to command the cuvette feeder to press the newly added
segments forward. Be sure not to load the segments as Figure 1-14 shows.
NOTE:
When loading cuvette segments to the entry of the cuvette
compartment, be sure to keep them upright. Remove the inclined
segments immediately upon seeing them and reload them the right
way.
Be sure to load the segments to the cuvette compartment in the right
direction (Figure 1-13). Reversely loaded segments (Figure 1-14) may
jam the loader and halts the analyzing unit.
Do not click the Load Cuvette button before completing adding all the
cuvette segments to the compartment. Otherwise, the loading
operation may fail.

6.2.2 Corrective Measures for ISE Unit Errors

The error codes of the ISE unit (optional) are different with other ones. The error
code of the ISE unit has a format of 7 characters, the format of which is <1234567>.
NOTE:
Only one error code of the ISE unit has a format of 8 characters that is
<S0000000>. You can look it as <S000000>.
You can find all the seven numbers in the table below digit by digit and then know
what is wrong with the ISE unit. Each digit represents a certain error. Each row
represents where the error locates in.
When the system reminds you of ISE error, you can open the log to find the error
code.
For example, when you see 0001000, because the number 0 means no error, you
need only to find where the 1 locates in the Digit 4 column. You will find it locates in
the Na+ row and you will know there is something wrong with the Na+ electrode.

7 Calculation Methods
7.1 Reaction Types

The analyzer can perform calculations for three reaction types:
Endpoint
Fixed-time
Kinetic
7.1.1 Endpoint
The endpoint reaction is the most ideal. The reaction reaches equilibrium after
certain period. Because the equilibrium constant is very large, it can be considered
that all substrates have changed into products, and the absorbance of the reacting
liquid does not change any more. The absorbance change is proportional to the
amount of the product present.
Figure 7-1 Endpoint reaction
t1 t2 t3 t
As shown in Figure 7-1, t1 is the time when the reagent is added, and t 2 is the
time when the sample is added. The reaction starts when they are mixed. At t 3 the
reaction reaches the equilibrium and the absorbance reading is taken. The reaction
time is t 3 t 2 .
The Endpoint reaction is not subject to such condition changes as enzyme

concentration, pH value and temperature, as long as the changes are not significant
enough to affect the reaction time.
7.1.2 Fixed-Time
For the fixed-time reaction, the reaction velocity (v), within a specific period, is
proportional to the substrate concentration [S], namely, v=k[S]. As the substrate is
7-1
Calculation Methods
consumed continuously, the reaction velocity becomes smaller and smaller, and so
does the change rate of the absorbance. It takes much time for such a reaction to
reach the equilibrium. Theoretically, the absorbance reading can be taken at any
time. The reaction can, however, become steady only after a delay because it is
complicated at the beginning and there are miscellaneous reactions due to the
complex serum compositions. For any first order reaction, the substrate
concentration [S] at a specific time (t) during the reaction is:
[S ] = [S 0 ] e kt
Where,
[S0] - original substrate concentration
e - base of the natural logarithm
k - velocity constant
Within the interval between t1 and t 2 , the relationship between [S] (delta
substrate concentration) and [S0] is:
[ S ]
[ S 0] = kt1 kt 2
e e
That is, within a fixed time interval, the delta substrate concentration is proportional
to the original substrate concentration, which is the generality of the first order
reactions. Within this interval, absorbance change is proportional to the substrate
concentration. See Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-2 Fixed-time reaction
t1 t2 t3 t4 t
As shown in Figure 7-2, t1 is the time when the reagent is added and t 2 is the
time when the sample is added. From t 3 the reaction becomes steady and t 4 is
the time to stop monitoring the reaction. The absorbance readings are respectively
taken at t 3 and t 4 .
Methodologically, the fixed-time method requires more than the endpoint method
does. All factors that have effects on the reaction velocity, such as pH, temperature
and enzyme concentration, must keep constant in the two-point analysis. In addition,
the timing must be precise and the calibration is necessary.
7-2
Calculation Methods
7.1.3 Kinetic
For the kinetic reaction, the reaction velocity is not related to the substrate
concentration and remains constant in the reaction process. As a result, for a given
wavelength, the absorbance of the reacting liquid changes evenly, and the change
rate (A/min) is proportional to the activity or concentration of the subject, which is
usually the enzyme.
In fact, it is impossible for the substrate concentration to be large enough, and the
reaction will no longer a zeroth order reaction when the substrate is consumed to a
certain degree. Therefore, the theory only stands within certain period. In addition,
the reaction can become steady only after a certain period because the reaction is
complicated at the beginning and there are miscellaneous reactions due to the
complex serum compositions. All reagent manufacturers have strict specifications for
these two periods. See Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3 Kinetic reaction
t1 t2 t3 tn
t
As shown in Figure 7-3, t1 is the time when the reagent is added. t 2 is the time
when the sample is added. From t 3 the reaction becomes steady. t n is the time to
stop testing the reaction. t 3 t 2 is the time delay, and t n t 3 is the monitoring
time.

7.2.1 AD Value Absorbance
Figure 7-4 How the liquid absorbs light
I0 It
As shown in Figure 7-4, when a parallel monochromatic light beam whose intensity
is I 0 goes through a flow cell (whose length is L ) containing a solution (whose
concentration is C ), some photons are absorbed, and the intensity is attenuated
from I 0 to I t , so the absorbance A of this solution is:
It
A = Lg
I0
Where,
It

I0
The analyzer measures the light intensity through the photo-electric conversion,
linear amplification and A/D conversion. For the light intensity signal I i of Channel i,
the AD output Di is:
Di = K pe K a K ad I i
Where,
K pe - photo electric conversion factor
Ka - linear amplification factor
K ad - A/D conversion factor
Di - data of Channel i
Ii - light intensity of Channel i
So,
Ii0 D
Ai = lg = lg i 0
Ii Di
7-4
Calculation Methods
Where,
Ai - absorbance of Channel i
Di 0 - background AD output
Di - AD output after the substrate is added.
In theory, when the lights are off, the AD output of each channel will be zero. In
practice, because of the existence of dark currents, there is still a background
output Dibackground , which should be deducted. Then, the complete absorbance
formula should be:
Di 0 Dibackground
Ai = lg
Di Dibackground
7.2.2 Absorbance Response
For the analyzer, the response (R) is defined as the absorbance change before and
after the reaction, or the absorbance change rate during the reaction process.
The formula for calculating the response (R) is closely related to the reaction type
(kinetic, fixed-time, endpoint), the number of reagents (single, double), and the
number of wavelengths (single or double). They are respectively detailed in the
following sections.
7.2.2.1 Calculating the response of the endpoint reaction
Single-reagent and single-wavelength
Figure 7-5 Endpoint reaction with single-reagent and single-wavelength
t1 t2 t3 t
As shown in Figure 7-5, t1 is the time when the reagent (volume: V) is added. t2
is the time when the sample (volume: S) is added. The reaction starts when they are
mixed. At t 3 the reaction reaches the equilibrium and the absorbance reading is
taken. t 3 t 2 is the reaction time. So,
R = Rs RSMPB
7-5
Calculation Methods
Both of Rs and RSMPB are calculated with the formula RAt3 K1 At2 1 .
Where,
Rs - response of reaction mixture
RSMPB - response of sample blank. If the sample blank has not been requested,
RSMPB =0.
At 3 - absorbance at t3
At2 1 - absorbance at the previous point before t2
K1 - single-reagent test volume coefficient. If the start time of reaction is 0,

V
K1 = ; otherwise, K1 1.
V +S
Single-reagent and double-wavelength

The calculation method is similar to that for the single-reagent and single-wavelength
reaction, except for every measurement period, the absorbance is A1 A 2 ,
where, A 1 is the absorbance at the primary wavelength, and A 2 is the
absorbance obtained under the secondary wavelength.
Double-reagent and single-wavelength
Figure 7-6 Endpoint reaction with double-reagent and single-wavelength
t1 t2 t3 t4 t
As shown in Figure 7-6, t1 is the time when reagent 1 (volume: V1) is added. t 2 is
the time when the sample (volume: S) is added. Then, reagent 1 and the sample are
mixed. t 3 is the time when the reagent 2 (volume: V2) is added. Then, reagent 2 is
mixed into the reaction liquid. At t4 the reaction reaches equilibrium. t3 t2 is the
incubation period, and t 4 t 3 is the reaction time. So,
R = Rs RRB
7-6
Calculation Methods
Both of Rs and RRB are calculated with the formula R = At4 K 2 An .
Where,
Rs - response of reaction mixture
RRB - response of double-reagent blank
At4 - absorbance at t 4
An - absorbance at the start time of reaction
K 2 - double-reagent volume coefficient. If the start time of reaction is 0, K 2 = 0; if

V1 + S
the start time of reaction is more than 0, K 2 = 1; otherwise, K 2 = .
V1 + S + V2
Double-reagent and double-wavelength

The calculation method is similar to that for double-reagent and single-wavelength
reaction, except for every measurement period, the absorbance is A1 A 2 ,
where, A1 is the absorbance obtained at the primary wavelength, and A 2 is the
absorbance obtained at the secondary wavelength.
7.2.2.2 Calculating the response of the fixed-time reaction
Single-wavelength (for both single-reagent and double-reagent)
Figure 7-7 Fixed-time reaction with single-wavelength (single reagent)
t1 t2 t3 t4 t
As shown in Figure 7-7, t1 is the time when the reagent (volume: V) is added and
t 2 is the time when the sample (volume: S) is added. t 3 is the time from which the
reaction becomes steady. t4 is the time the test on the reaction is stopped.
Absorbance is taken respectively at t 3 , t4 and the response R is:
At4 At3
R=
t4 t3
7-7
Calculation Methods
Double-wavelength
The response is:
( At41 At42 ) ( At31 At3 2 )

R=
t4 t3
Where,
At41 - primary wavelength absorbance at t4
At42 - secondary wavelength absorbance at t4
At31 - primary wavelength absorbance at t 3
At3 2 - secondary wavelength absorbance at t 3
7.2.2.3 Calculating the response of the kinetic reaction
Single-wavelength (for both single-reagent and double-reagent)
Figure 7-8 Kinetic reaction with single-wavelength (single reagent)
t1 t2 t3 tn
t
As shown in the figure, t1 is the time when the reagent (volume: V) is added. t 2 is
the time when the sample (volume: S) is added. t 3 is the time from which the
reaction becomes steady. tn is the time when the test on the reaction is stopped.
t 3 t 2 is the time delay, and t n t 3 is the reaction time. The response ( R ) is
equal to the slope of the linear section between t 3 and tn .
Double-wavelength
The calculation method is similar to that for the single-wavelength reaction. The only
difference is that the absorbance at a certain point is equal to the primary
wavelength absorbance minus the secondary wavelength absorbance.

Calculation Methods
7.2.3 Response Calibration Parameter
The analyzer provides two calibration methods: linear calibration and nonlinear
calibration.
The linear calibration includes the single-point linear calibration (also called factor
method), two-point linear calibration (also called linear method), and multi-point (over
3 points) linear calibration (also called linear regression method). They are mainly
used for tests determined by colorimetry.
The nonlinear calibration includes Logistic-Log 4P, Logistic-Log 5P, Exponential5P,

Polynomial5P, Parabola and Spline. They are mainly used for tests determined by
turbidimetry.

2 When the QC value is no larger than the value of k, no processing is
required.
3 When the QC value overruns the value of k (larger than the upper limit or
smaller than the lower limit), the system starts to calculate the cumulative
sum.
4 For subsequent data, the system continues to calculate the cumulative
sum.
5 When the symbol changes (from positive to negative, or from negative to
positive) with the cumulative sum, the system stops the calculation and
resets the cumulative sum. For subsequent data, the system continues to
calculate the cumulative sum.

Calculation Methods
6 When the cumulative sum overruns the control limit h (larger than the
upper limit or smaller than the lower limit), the system considers it
out-of-control.
7.2.5.4 Cumulative error
This rule calculates the difference (error, expressed with the symbol plus or minus)
between the tested value and target value of a test of a control.
1st day cumulative error1 = error1
2nd day cumulative error2 = error1 + error2
3rd day cumulative error3 = cumulative error2 + error3
nth day cumulative errorn = cumulative errorn-1 + errorn
When the cumulative error overruns the cumulative error limit E or E, the system
considers it out-of-control.

7.3 Calculation Method of ISE Unit (optional)

An ion selective electrode develops a voltage that varies with the concentration of the ion to
which it responds. The relationship between the voltage developed and the concentration of
the sensed ion is logarithmic, as expressed by the Nernst equation:
Ex = Es + RT/nF log ( C)
Where,
Ex - the potential of the electrode in sample solution
7-17
Calculation Methods
Es - the potential developed under standard conditions
RT/nF - a temperature dependent constant, termed the slope(s)
Log - base ten logarithm function
- activity coefficient of the measured ion in the solution
C - concentration of the measured ion in the solution
The calculation process of the concentration of the ion in the sample is as the following steps.
First, the module measures the potential of the calibrant A and calibrant B and calculates the
slope S of the electrode with the formula below.
EA EB
S=
C
log A
CB
where,
S the slope of the electrode
EA the potential of the calibrant A
EB the potential of the calibrant B
CA the concentration of calibrant A
CB the concentration of calibrant B
Second, the module calculates the concentration of the ion in the sample with the formula
below.
E X E A
C X = C A 10 S
Where,
Cx the concentration of the ion in the sample
Ex the potential of the sample
CA the concentration of the calibrant A
EA the potential of the calibrant A
S the slope of the electrode
