1.3  Functions 
The general working procedure of  the BS-120/BS-130/BS-180/BS-190 is  as 
follows: 
1.  All mechanical units are initialized. 
2.  The sample/reagent disk rotates to R1 aspirating position, and the probe 
aspirates reagent from a bottle on the sample/reagent disk. 
3.  The reaction disk carries the cuvettes to the sample/reagent dispensing 
position, and the probe dispenses reagent to a cuvette. 
4.  R1 is incubated in reaction cuvette for several periods. 
5.  The  sample/reagent disk rotates to  sample  aspirating position, and the 
reaction  disk  carries  the  cuvettes  to  the  sample/reagent  dispensing 
position, then the probe dispenses the sample in the reaction cuvette. 
6.  With sample dispensed, the reaction cuvette rotates to mixing position for 
stirring. 
7.  In case of single-reagent tests, the reaction begins. When defined time is 
over, the reaction ends. 
8.  In case of double-reagent tests, when sample is dispensed and sirred, the 
sample/reagent disk rotates to the R2 aspirating position, and the probe 
aspirates reagent from the specified bottle on the reagent disk. 
9.  The reaction disk carries the cuvettes to the sample/reagent dispensing 
position, and the probe dispenses reagent to a cuvette. 
10. With R2 dispensed, the reaction cuvette is carried to the mixing position 
for stirring. 
11. During the first and second rotation of each period, the reaction cuvette 
receives photometric measurement.
