Fluidics
Sample Probe
The sample probe mixes the specimen inside the sample tube.
Approximately 1mL of sample is aspirated and fills the specific gravity and
color-clarity flowcells. Approximately 10µL of sample is dispensed onto
each pad of the test strip. When dispensing of the specimen is
completed, the sample probe is cleaned with the wash solution. At the
same time, specific gravity, color and clarity measurements are
completed; and the flowcells and tubing are rinsed with the wash solution.
Wash Station
The wash station is used to rinse the outside of the sample probe and to
discard the wash solution.
Pumps
One pump is used for aspirating and dispensing the sample.
Two pumps are used to wash and clean the fluidics system.
