1.3 DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
The CHORUS instrument is a main “bench-top” type unit, completely autonomous, operating with its
installed software already programmed to conduct the necessary tests (see fig. 1).
The high level of automation characterizes it as a real instrument with “walkaway” potentiality.

The serum is dispensed manually into the single devices by the user. All other operations (dilution,
dispensation, washing steps, optic reading) are executed automatically by the instrument. The results
are printed or sent to a host computer by the laboratory information network (LIS, Laboratory
Information System).
Because it is not possible to interrupt the timing of the analysis cycle, no samples can be inserted after
starting the instrument.
