Chapter 4. Module Introduction
4.1 Sample&reagent probe unit
4.1.1 Function introduction
Sample&reagent probe can realize the assimilation from the sample test tube and reagent
bottle and add into reaction cuvette.
In addition, main function of reagent&sample probe component: liquid level detecting and
collision detection in movement process, probe block detecting function.
Other subsidiary function includes mechanical limit, power-down self-locking function.
Probe working position:
Reagent&sample probe component : rinsing bath→sample&reagent disk assimilating
position→reaction disk/ISE sampling position;
Probe drive mechanism plays a key role of reagents and samples adding. The way of probe are
only up-down and circular moving, so two step motors are necessary to drive.
