1.1.1 What You Can Do with the AX-4030
Measurement Items
The AX-4030 uses test strips to analyze urine samples fully automatically. Comprehensive
assessments can be made based on color-tone and turbidity measurements, abnormal coloration
detection, S.G. (specific gravity) measurement, as well as ten qualitative analyses of GLU
(glucose), PRO (protein), BIL (bilirubin), PH (pH), BLD (blood), URO (urobilinogen), KET
(ketones), NIT (nitrite) and LEU (leukocytes).
Measurement Method
AX-4030 performs the following measurements.
■ Normal measurement
Normal measurement continuously measures a number of samples loaded in the sample racks.
A sample rack can contain up to 10 samples. Place the sample racks with samples in the sampler
and press the start key. The instrument then automatically transports the sample racks, aspirates
the samples in order, and obtains the results. Up to 5 sample racks (50 samples) can be loaded
into the sampler for one-way transportation, and up to 10 sample racks (100 samples) for loop
transportation.
* The instrument is factory-set to the one-way transportation mode. If you prefer loop transportation to measure more
samples at a time, contact your distributor.
■ STAT measurement
STAT measurement is used to interrupt ongoing normal measurements and measure one or more
urgent samples. There are two types of STAT measurements:
Port STAT measurement: Measures a single sample loaded into the STAT port. If you have
a sample to test urgently, you can load the sample into the STAT
port to interrupt normal measurements in progress.
Rack STAT measurement: Interrupts normal measurements in progress to measure up to 7
samples loaded into the STAT and control rack.
■ Control measurement
The specified controls should be measured at regular intervals for the quality control of the
instrument. Use the STAT and control rack to load the controls. Up to 3 types (or 3 concentrations)
of controls can be used at a time.
■ Check measurement
If obtained measurement results seem inaccurate, perform a check measurement using the supplied
check strips to check if the instrument is working correctly.
