Cuvette Reaction System
Introduction
The Cuvette Reaction system consists of the following components:
• Reaction carousel assembly
• Photometer assembly
• LPIA (Large Particle Immuno Assay) or NIPIA (Near-Infrared Particle Immuno
Assay) module (optional)
• Cuvette wash station
The Cuvette Reaction system involves the process of obtaining absorbance readings
from each cuvette during the analysis cycle.
Following the completion of each chemistry test, the cuvettes are processed through a
wash station in preparation for the next chemistry.
A description of each component is presented in the following paragraphs.
Reaction Carousel
The reaction carousel assembly, (refer to Figure 2.14), supports a total of 125 cuvettes.
Each cuvette is glass with a 0.5 cm path length and is approximately 30 mm high. The
cuvettes are non-disposable and have an indefinite life-span on the instrument.
Cuvettes only need replacement if they are damaged. (They remain under warranty for
two years.)
