1.5 Explanation of terms


1.5.1 AD value
The light current generated after the light reaches the detector will flow through a fixed resistance, and convert into a
light voltage (analog signal) after amplification. This voltage will convert into a numerical signal with the
corresponding magnitude (the magnitude is related to the selected number of bits of AD) after AD conversion
(analog-digital conversion), and this value is the AD value.

1.5.2 Dark current


The numerical signal which is output by the photoelectric detector when the light source is not open (i.e., when
there is no signal light) can be expressed as AD value. The dark current is equivalent to the circuit background,
and it must be deducted when calculating the absorbance.

1.5.3 Water blank


It refers to the absorbance value obtained when the reaction cup is filled with distilled water. Since the
absorbance value is relative, that is, based on a certain absorbance value, in the SL 120, the absorbance of
water blank is defined as 0, which means any other absorbance must subtract the absorbance value obtained
when the reaction cup is filled with distilled water.

1.5.4 Metering point


The specific time for conducting the photoelectric colorimetry are generally expressed as the specific
numerical values, and there is a strict but fixed time relationship between various metering points. In the SL
120, there is a total of “n+m” metering points for each reaction (“n” is the endpoint number set in “Item
Parameter”, “m” is configurable number of points collected continuously after the endpoint).

1.5.5 Absorbance
It refers to the common logarithm obtained from taking the negative number after the transmitted light
intensity divides the incident light intensity. In the SL 120, the incident light intensity is the AD value obtained
when the reaction cup is filled with distilled water, and the displayed absorbance value is the calculated
absorbance value ×104.

User Manual of BA-A-S120Mini Analyzer

1.5.6 Reaction curve


It refers to a series of points composed by taking the metering point as the horizontal coordinate and taking the
absorbance as the vertical coordinate. The typical reaction curve of SL 120 is shown as follows:

1.5.7 Reaction amplitude


It refers to the change in absorbance before and after the reaction or the change rate of absorbance during the
reaction.

1.5.8 Calibration
Also refers to calibration. For the sample (also known as “calibrator”) with one or more known concentration
(or activity), measure its reaction magnitude; by depending on the selected calibration mode (linear or
nonlinear), carry out fitting by using an optimal curve-paired data set (concentration, reaction magnitude), and
calculate the mathematical expression of this curve. By using this curve, measure the reaction amplitude of the
sample with an unknown concentration (or activity), which can calculate the concentration (or activity) of this
sample.

1.5.9 Calibration curve


It refers to a series of points composed by taking the concentration (or activity) as the horizontal coordinate
and taking the reaction magnitude as the vertical coordinate, and a curve fitted by using an optimal
mathematical equation.

1.5.10 Calibration parameter


It refers to other items except concentration and reaction amplitude in the expression of calibration curve.

7.3 Analytical method


Classify the reactions according to the reaction speed features during reaction process, SL 120 classify all
reactions into three categories: Destination method. Two points method and Dynamics method, which will be
described as below separately

- 90 -
User Manual of BA-A-S120Mini Analyzer

7.3.1 Destination method


The reaction complete thoroughly, all analyses has transformed into the monitored product, the reaction liquid
absorbance will not increase (or decrease), and further more the increased (or decreased) quantity of
absorbance before and after reaction is proportional to the original concentration.
Typical destination method reaction curve is as in below figure:

Figure 10-3 Destination method reaction curve

7.3.2 Two points method


In specific reaction part, reaction speed is proportional to first power of analyte concentration, and since the
analyste is being consumed continuously, the whole reaction speed is decreasing continuously, which shows as
the increasing (or decreasing) speed of absorbance is more and more slower, and during this part, the
increasing(or decreasing) quantity of the absorbance is proportional to the original concentration of the
analyte.
Typical two points method reaction curve as shown in Figure 10-4:

Figure 10-4 Two points method reaction curve

7.3.3 Dynamics method


In specific reaction part, the reaction speed reach the maximum and remain unchanged, the analyte generates
the monitored product with the maximum speed at a constant rate, which shows as absorbance decrease or
increase evenly, and decreasing or increasing speed (△A/min) is proportional to the activity or concentration
of the analyte, and mainly used for determination of enzyme activity.
Typical Dynamics method reaction curve as shown in Figure 10-5:

User Manual of BA-A-S120Mini Analyzer

Figure 10-5 Dynamics method Reaction curve

7.4 Absorbance and reaction amplitude

7.4.1 Absorbance
for SL 120, the computation formula of absorbance is as below:
Solution Absorbance=Log (AD water-AD dark) / (AD solution-AD dark)
Thereinto:
(1) “Log” means normal 10-base logarithm operation;
(2) “AD”means the numerical value of transmitting light intensity after photoelectric conversion and
digitaltoanalog conversion ;
(3) “AD dark” means the AD value with light off, “AD water” means the AD value for reaction vessel
filled up with water, “AD solution” means the Ad value for reaction vessel filled up with solution to be
tested;

7.4.2 Reaction amplitude


For SL 120, reaction amplitude is defined as the change rate of absorbance before and after reaction or during
reaction, reaction amplitude is important middle data for computing process, and is also necessary for
calibration parameters and concentration computing. For different type of analytical method, the computing
method of reaction amplitude is not the same, which will be described as below
(1) Destination method
Reaction amplitude= Destination absorbance-( Starting point absorbance× volume correction factor )
Thereinto:
 Destination and starting point is set in the “computing time” of “item parameter” by the user;
 For absorbance, if it is single wavelength, then use the absorbance of the dominant wavelength; if it is
dual-wavelength, then the absorbance of each point equals to dominant wavelength absorbance minus
sub-wavelength absorbance;
 Volume correction factor = ( Starting point volume) /( Destination volume);
(2) Two point method
Reaction amplitude = Destination absorbance - Starting point absorbance
Thereinto:
 Destination and starting point is set in the “computing time” of “item parameter” by the user;

- 92 -
User Manual of BA-A-S120Mini Analyzer

 For absorbance, if it is single wavelength, then use the absorbance of the dominant wavelength; if it is
dual-wavelength, then the absorbance of each point equals to dominant wavelength absorbance minus
sub-wavelength absorbance;
(3) Dynamics method
Reaction amplitude = The change rate per minute for starting point and destination absorbance
Thereinto:
 Destination and starting point is set in the “computing time” of “item parameter” by the user;
 For absorbance, if it is single wavelength, then use the absorbance of the dominant wavelength; if it is
dual-wavelength, then the absorbance of each point equals to dominant wavelength absorbance minus
sub-wavelength absorbance;

7.5 Calibration

7.5.1 Calibration type


For SL 120, calibration is classified into linear calibration and no-linear calibration. Linear calibration includes
single point calibration, two point calibration and multipoint calibration, which are mainly applied to the item
with solution as the reaction liquid; No-linear calibration mainly includes Logit -4P, Logit -5P, Exponential-5P,
Polynomial-5P and Spline, which are mainly applied to the item with turbid liquid such as immunization turbid

iteration method.

7.6 Concentration calculation


(1) When the item analytical method is dynamics method, calibration is not necessary, input the theoretical
calculation factor F directly, thereinto concentration equals to R and F product. For other type item,
must proceed calibration first, and obtain calibration parameter to calculate the concentration;
(2) If alibration type is linear calibration, Logit-4P or Polynomial-5P, the concentration can be calculated
using calibration parameter and reaction amplitude R directly;
(3) If calibration type is Logit-5P, Exponential-5P or Spline, calculate the concentration according to the
reaction amplitude R and calibration parameter with dichotomy to determine the positive real root.

7.7 Quality control (QC)

7.7.1 Quality control (QC) rule


The default quality control (QC) rule for SL-200 series is Westguard rule, the user can choose one or several
rules for QC status determination for different item according to actual requirement.
Westguard rule includes 10 subrule, the determination purpose of each subrule is as below:

7.8 Other Relevant Computation

7.8.1 Corresponding Calculation of Calibration Curve


(1) Calibration Sensitivity
It means that if the D-value of response amplitude of the highest concentration calibration solution and the
lowest concentration calibration solution during calibration is less than the set value, it will be judged as fail.
(2) Response Amplitude of Blank Solution
It means that if the response amplitude value of the calibration solution with zero concentration is greater than
the set value, it will be judged as fail.
(3) Calibration Repeatability
It means that if the difference of the maximum and minimum value of the response amplitude measured in
three times for each calibration solution is greater than the set value, it will be judged as fail.
(4) Standard Deviation of Calibration Curve
Only applicable to multiple linear and nonlinear calibration curve. It means that the quadratic sum of the
'
difference between the reponse amplitude (R) of the calibration solution and the response amplitude ( Ri )
computed based on calibratiuon curve is divided by the degree of freedom and then extracted the square root.
The specific computing method is shown as follows:

7.8.2 Substrate Exhaustion Judgement


This judgement is only applicable to kinetic method and two-point method. Because some high concentration
samples (activity) makes the substrate exhaust quickly, which makes the reaction speed can not reach the
expected speed (level 0 or level 1 reaction), in order to correctly reflect the result the substrate exhaustion
should be judged. The specific judgement method is as follows:
(1) Ascending Reaction
If the absorbance value of any point or multiple points in the begaining and ending period is greater than the
set value, it will be judged as substrate exhaustion.
(2) Descending Reaction
If the absorbance value of any point or multiple points in the begaining and ending period is less than the set
value, it will be judged as substrate exhaustion.

7.8.3 Linearity Check


The linearity check, only applicable to kinetic method, is used to judge whether the Linearity of reaction curve
meets the set value in the beginning and ending period of reaction, based on the data of all metering points.
The detailed computing method is as follows:
(1) The number of metering points in the beginning and ending period is more than 9
Linear limit = (the absorbance change rate of the first 6 points – that of the latter 6 points) / the absorbance
change rate of all points
(2) 4≤the metering points in the begining and ending period≤8
Linear limit = (the absorbance change rate of the first 3 points – that of the latter 3 points) / the absorbance
change rate of all points
(3) The linearity will not be computed for the following situations:
 The number of metering points ≤3
 The absorbance change rate is less than 0.006 / minute, or the D-value of the absorbance change rate is
less than 0.006/minute.
 The reagent blank test, sample blank test and calibration solution test of zero-dose

7.8.4 Prozone Check


In the antigen-antibody reaction, the insoluble antigen-antibody complex generated is closely related to the
ratio of antigen-antibody. In the appropriate rate, the insoluble antigen-antibody complex amount generated is
the most, while the light filtered is the least, equivalently the absorbance is the most. More than or less than the
ratio, the insoluble antigenic antibody complex amount generated will be reduced, while the light filtered will
be increased and the absorbance will be lessened, shown as below figure: If the prozone check is not

User Manual of BA-A-S120Mini Analyzer

conducted, the insoluble antigen-antibody complex amount generated by two samples with very large different
concentration can be equal, which will cause the same test result.

Fig. 10-7 Schematic diagram of the relationship between insoluble antigen-antibody complex and the ratio of
antigen-antibody
In SL 120, the prozone check can be conducted according to the following methods:
(1) Double Reagent End Point Method

7.8.5 Reaction Equilibrium Judgment


This judgement is only applicable to the end point method and is ued to judge whether the reaction equilibrium
in the ending time has been reached based on the data of all metering points. The detailed computing method is
as follows:
(1) Compute the D-value of the absorbance between the end point and the following continuous 3 metering
pints;
(2) If all D-values are less than 0.01, it can be judged that the equilibrium has been reached, otherwise the
equilibrium has not been reached;
(3) If the reaction endpoint is greater than 75, the reaction equilibrium judgement will not be conducted.

7.8.6 Lamp Bulb State Judgement


(1) Some wavelength luminous intensity is equal to:
Average value of the water blank AD values of all cups of this wavelength - dark current of this
wavelength
Among: the average value means the average value of residual values after removing plus or minus 2 times the
standard deviation
(2) When the luminous intensity of any wavelength is less than 60% of factory value, it indicates that the
lamp bulb needs to be changed;

7.8.7 Reaction Cup Clean State Check


(1) The transmission value of some wavelength is equal to:
The water blank AD value of this wavelength - dark current of this wavelength
(2) Any reaction cup which meets any of the following situations will be judged as dirty cup.
