2.2.2 Timing
2.2.2.1 Timing for Main Components
The working period of BS-120/BS-130 is 36 seconds, so its throughput is 100
tests/hour (3600/36). During each working period, the reaction disk rotates three
times and stops three times. During each stop, the sample probe can dispense
sample, first reagent and second reagent respectively. Therefore, the throughput
is not affected no matter it is single-reagent test or double-reagent test because
both of them have the same test efficiency. The practical throughput is affected
by reaction time and cuvettes replacement.
The system collects photometric data two times during each period. Therefore,
the interval between two absorbance readings is 18 seconds for each test.
The movements of major moving parts are shown in the following table.
