2.3.2.3 Timing for Reagent Probe
The timing of dispensing R1 and R2 are basically the same, with slight difference
in the reagent dispensed.Therefore, only the timing of dispensing R1 is shown in
the following:
a. Lifting up from the wash pool
b. Rotating to the position above the sample/reagent disk
c. Lowering down to the reagent bottle
d. Aspirating R1
e. Lifting up from the reagent bottle
f. Rotating to the position above reaction disk
g. Lowering down to the reaction cuvette
h. Dispensing R1
i. Lifting up from the reaction cuvette
j. Rotating to the position above the wash pool
k. Lowering down to the wash pool
l. Washing inside and outside of the reagent probe
2.3.2.4 Timing for Mixing Bar
a. Lifting up from the wash pool and moving into the reaction cuvette
b. Sirring reaction liquid
c. Lifting up from the reaction cuvette and moving into the wash pool
d. Washing mixing bar
2.3.2.5 Timing for Reaction Disk
The reaction disk can hold 40 reaction cuvettes. In each working period, the
reaction disk rotates clockwise. In a routine period, the reaction disk rotates and
stops at the sample dispensing position, and then rotates for 9 cuvette positions
and stops for stirring and R1 dispensing.
