NOTE: The fields described in the following chart are only used
for photometric assays unless noted.
Field Description
Reaction Mode Allows selection of the following options: END UP, END DOWN, RATE
UP, and RATE DOWN.
Wavelength
(Primary/Secondary)
Allows the selection of the primary wavelength and secondary wavelength
(if required).
Main Read Time The range of read points that will be used for result calculation.
Flex Read Time For rate assays only, to define a range of read points that are earlier than the
Main Read Time, to be used for the calculation of higher results.
AbsMaxVar (End-point
assays only)
The acceptable variation allowed for the absorbance readings within the
Main Read Time.
Linearity% (Rate assays only) The acceptable % difference when the absorbance change of the first three
reads is compared to the last three reads of the Main Read Time.
Sample Blank Test An assay name is selected for assays with a sample blank. Blank can be a
self blank (sample and reagent) or non-self blank (user defined assay file).
Blank Read Time The range of read points that will be used for measuring the Self Blank
(Sample and Reagent). Enter the read time 1-33.
Abs Window A range of read points is defined for measuring the sample color for color
correction of the Abs Limits.
Abs Limits The expected absorbance limits during the Read Time. When measured
outside the defined limits, the System will use data from the Flex Read
Time or will generate the A#0, A#1, or A#2 Result Error Codes.
S.Vol The sample volume is defined for the Standard, Dil 1, and Dil 2 protocols.
NOTE: The sample volume for ICT™ assays is preset to 15 µL.
DS.Vol The diluted sample volume is the amount that is aspirated from the cuvette
used for onboard dilution and dispensed into a different cuvette for
analysis.
D.Vol The diluent volume is defined, if required, for the Standard, Dil 1, and
Dil 2 protocols.
W.Vol The water volume is defined when a concentrated diluent is used.
Diluent If a sample diluent is required, it is defined in the REAGENTS screen and
then selected from a Drop-down list box on the Base page.
Reagent 1 The Reagent 1 is defined in the REAGENTS screen and then selected
from a Drop-down list box on the Base page.
NOTE: The ICT™ Sample Diluent is selected as Reagent 1 for
ICT assays.
Reagent 2 The Reagent 2, if required, is defined in the REAGENTS screen and then
selected from a Drop-down list box on the Base page.
