1.4.3 Functions
(1) Sample Tube Transportation Function
Sample tube is transported from the sample tube rack to the sample incubation unit by the Slide Catcher
Method.
(2) Reaction Tube Feeding Function
1) Reaction Tube Feeding Method: Fed manually to Reaction Tube Rack
2) Number of Reaction Tube: 2 racks containing 30 tubes each (maximum 60 reaction tubes)
3) Kinds of Reaction Tube: Tube SU-40 for CA-1000
4) Detecting Reaction Tube: Detected by Reaction Tube Detective Sensor
(3) Sample Plasma and Reagent Dispensing Function
One dispensing pipette with the heating function moves up and down, traverses, and dispenses the
sample and the reagent.
1) Temperature Control Accuracy: 37.0 ± 1.0°C (with ambient temperature of 15 ~ 30°C)
2) Waiting Time for Setting Temp.: within 30 minutes
3) Volumetric Method: Sample and reagent are aspirated, dispensed and rinsed by the
syringe.
4) Volumetric Syringe: 1
5) Pipette: 1
(4) Liquid Surface Detection Function
The pipette has the liquid surface detection function, so that it senses the meniscus automatically and
then stops at a certain depth of the sample or the reagent.
(5) Sampler Function
1) Sample Storing Method: Sysmex Rack
2) Maximum Sample Storage: 1 rack (10 samples)
3) Usable Collection Tubes:
The following types with inside diameter of 8 mm or more.
(i) 15 (OD) X 75 ~ 100 mm length
(ii) 12 (OD) X 75 ~ 100 mm length
(iii) 10 (OD) X 65 mm length (The optional spacer is required.)
(iv) Sample cup of 2 mL or 4 mL
4) Sample Cooling Function: None
5) Sample ID Reading Function: Sample ID No. can be read by the Bar Code Reader.
(6) STAT Sample Measurement Function
1) The specified sample in the STAT Sample Rack can be analyzed, interrupting the usual analysis.
Within 10 minutes from the interruption by the STAT sample analysis, the analysis result can be
output (when the single parameter is analyzed).
2) Number of STAT sample
One sample only.
(7) Measurement Interrupt/Restart Function (CA-550 and CA-560 only)
The analyzer has the function to allow setting additional samples to the rack in process after starting a
measurement and measuring them. The registration of the additional samples can be made on the left
side from the left-end tube position for the samples already set in rack and registered for measurement.
