The CombiScan
®
100 is a small, compact, easy-to-use urine strip analyzer. It is ideal for small-
scale laboratories and physicians’ offices.
The optical system is designed especially for the evaluation of the CombiScreen® 11SYS. The
test strip is illuminated by white light and the reflected light from the reagent strip is detected
by a colour CCD sensor. The signals are digitalized and this digitalized image is evaluated by the
built-in program. Due to the CCD-technology, the instrument is able to distinct between colour
changes caused by reaction of the test pad chemistry and non-specific colour development,
caused by the sample. Operation is very simple, and doesn’t require any special knowledge or
difficult practice.
Each time a strip is read, the grey reference pad in the tray is evaluated to check the optical
system. If the reference pad is badly soiled or a LED is defective and cannot emit the required
amount of light, an error message is displayed (see section 6.).
Warning! Be careful not to harm or scrape calibration pad surface.
All the program information that is necessary to measure and evaluate a test strip are stored in
the code key plug (can be found under printer cover). Generally user do not need to do anything
more with this plug, than to control, whether it is plugged in properly. It can be changed if
analyticon® Biotechnologies AG offers an updated program version. In this case analyticon®
Biotechnologies AG delivers detailed information on how to use the new code key.
Warning! Do not remove the code key plug from its place! Without the code key plug the
equipment is unable to operate.
