biosystems BA 400 - Stress

Action Description
Priming A Performs a priming cycle with calibration standard A
using a volume of 300 μL. In the repetitions parameter
indicate how many times the action must be executed.
Priming B Performs a priming cycle with calibration standard B
using a volume of 300 μL. In the repetitions parameter
indicate how many times the action must be executed.
Wash Performs a wash cycle with the ISE washing solution.
In the sample rotor pos. parameter indicate the position
of the tube with the washing solution. In the volume
parameter indicate the volume to be dispensed for
washing.
Activate the reagent
kit
Execute this action to activate and memorise the reagent
kit in the programme. It is also used to memorise the
installation date and record the consumption of the
calibration standards. e programme issues a warning
when the standards are no longer usable.
Activation of
electrodes
Execute this action to activate and memorise the
electrodes in the programme. It is used to record the
consumption of the electrodes and warn the user when
they are no longer usable.
Activation of ISE
preparations
Use this action to tell the programme you have installed
an ISE module.
6.5.8. Stress
e stress verication test simulates the normal operating cycle of the analyser. However, instead of pipetting serum
and reagent, the analyser moves the arms and pumps, but without pipetting any uids.
e stress can be congured as global stress, i.e., performing a complete cycle or partial stress of functional parts
of the analyser.
Partial stress options:
• Arms (selected separately)
• Rotors (selected separately)
• Photometry
• Syringes
• Fluids
Steps for programming stress
1. Select the stress duration by number of cycles.
2. Select whether you want the global or partial stress option.
3. Press the adjustment button to start the stress test
4. While the stress test is being executed, a status bar will appear indicating the stress duration.
5. Once the stress test has nished, the following information is displayed in the results section:
a) Type of stress
b) Total number of cycles and total stress duration time
