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.

OPERATION 29
a) 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 changes colour
or absorbance. At that time, the absorbance value of the reaction 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 wave-
length, which allows some interference factors to be eliminated. The instru-
ment supports the dual wavelength test method.
b) Kinetics method: In the kinetics method, a photometer is used to continu-
ously test the absorbance value of the reaction fluid after mixing reagents
and sample. The change of absorbance is tested once the absorbance value
begins to change linearly. The concentration of reaction solution can be ob-
tained on the basis of the Lambert-Beer Law.
c) Two-points method: The two-points method test is a special type of the ki-
netics method test. In this method, the difference in the absorbance value
at two points in the linear section is measured once the absorbance value
begins to change linearly. This allows the concentration of the reaction solu-
tion to be obtained.
3. Unit: Select the unit for the test result. The following 9 units are available:
mg/dl, mg/l, g/L, μmol/l, mmol/l, mol/l, U/l, IU/l and blank. Select the unit
using the ◄► key.
4. Temperature: Select test temperature, 4 settings are available: ambient tem-
perature, 25°C, 30°C and 37°C. Choose the temperature using the ◄► key.
5. First wavelength: Choose the required wavelength in the test according to
the kit requirements. 5 wavelengths are available: 340 nm, 405 nm, 500 nm,
546 nm and 620 nm. Choose the required wavelength using the ◄► key.
6. Second wavelength: Select the secondary wavelength in the test according
to the kit requirements, and the system will flexibly implement the dual
wavelength method by setting the secondary wavelength. It includes 6 se-
lectable secondary wavelengths: 340 nm, 405 nm, 500 nm, 546 nm, 620
nm and none. When a single wavelength is used for the test, the secondary
wavelength must be set as none. Choose the secondary wavelength using
the ◄► key.
7. Blank: Select the blank testing, including none, reagent blank and sample
blank. Choose the blank type using the ◄► key. In the end-point method
test, reagent blank and sample blank can be selected according to user requi-
rements. Reagent blank can be selected for the two-points method test, and
no blank settings can be selected for the kinetics method.

8. Factor: Enter the calculation factor; negative and positive values can be
switched using the ◄► key. The system supports the direct input of factors
and the determination of calculation factors by system calibration (standard
test).
9. Norms high: The entered result is the value of norms high based on empiri-
cal evidence.
10. Norms low: The entered result is the value of norms low based on empirical
evidence.
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 be-

thod does not require this parameter).
13. Decimal Digits: The reserved digits after the decimal point in the result; the
maximum is 4.
14. Aspirate volume: The amount of solution aspirated by the peristaltic pump.
This parameter indicates the amount of imbibed fluid which will be tested
each time. In order to ensure test accuracy, the aspirate volume is generally
greater than 400 μl. (General it should be set at 500 μl; the aspirate volume
of reagents with significant contamination can be increased to 700 μl).
