1 General information
1.1 Intended use
The SLB222 analyzer is made for the analysis on several sorts of food using cdR’s
dedicated test kits together with special test application instructions for use on produc-
tion lines or special laboratories.
All analytical tests provided by the SLB222 analyzer are well calibrated after valid
international standards.

1.2 System description

SLB222 analyzer is a standalone, compact instrument designed and made after latest
technology. Its main part is the spectrophotometer with 4 channels and 2 beams each
of different wavelength accompanied by an incubation block of 16 cells. Both are
temperature-controlled at 37.0°C ±1 (98,6°F), for pre-warming of test cuvettes. The
analyzer is calibrated and controlled automatically after power ON where also
other elementary function checks will be done. Possible malfunction will be shown
on display automatically after detection.

The analyzer is equipped with a coloured LCD touch screen. All operations take place
by using a finger or a special touch-screen pen which is to put on a symbol or mes-
sage. The analytical tests are internally stored along with the associated calibration
parameters. Test results will be stored after its identification in a data base where it can
be selected for later purposes. A lithium battery ensures a loss of all data. The dialog
language can be set in the menu of the device. Following language selection can be
done: Italian, English, German, French and Spanish.

The analytical tests are mainly run as 2-phase test. In the first phase, a defined amount
of sample material is pipetted into each pre-filled cuvette to R1 reagent. After incuba-
tion, a blank value is measured and stored. For colour handling, a reagent R2 is added
to the cuvette content and after the second incubation the colour change can be read.
The result is shown on the display and automatically memorised and printed out. Two
USB interfaces as well as a Net interface for optional connection to the host computer.

The built-in thermal printer is easy to handle and requires thermal paper. The power is
provided by an external AC/DC power supply (LPS – Low Power Supply) that automati-
cally adapts to the existing power supply from 115V to 230V. The secondary voltage is
24Vdc, 3A.

3.4.1 Cancellation of a test

A test run can be terminated by touching HOME on head line except during a meas-
urement. A message will appear to providing functions Continue or Finish. Make your
choice.

3.4.2 Storing of Reagent Blank value

This description is special for testing of peroxide values! If you put R2 reagent into the
test cuvette with R1 reagent, a red colour is shown. This colour “Reagent Blank” must
be subtracted by testing of samples to get accurate results.

This Reagent Blank Value is different between reagent lots. So whenever you start with

26 User Guide V1
 SLB222
a new peroxide reagent lot, you must store the reagent blank for all curves used for
peroxides! The values are stored as long as they are restored.
To store Reagent Blank Value, proceed as follows:

• Select in dialogue Blank reactive in dialogue testing peroxide.

• Put a test cuvette only with R1 reagent into the indicated reading cell.
• Touch READ to store the 1st blank result.
• Touch STOP to terminate 1st blank reading session.
• Add 10µl of R2 reagent into the test cuvette and start incubation cycle.
• After incubation, mix cuvette content and place cuvette into the indicated reading
cell.
• Touch READ to store the 2nd blank result.

This procedure can be combined together with cuvettes containing a sample.

The advantage of this two phases test is that intensive coloured oils cannot
interfere with the R2 reagent!

3.4.3 Print of results

A print-out is configured as follows:
Analayzer name
Date and time
Test name and Operator‘s name
Calibration parameter K- and Q-values
Sample 1 ….
Result with unit and Name
Note about exceeded measuring range [ * ]

3.4.4 Exceeded measuring range

In case of exceeded measuring range, a [ * ] star is shown on display and in print-out,
proceed as follows:

- If result is shown as [< ] smaller, repeat test using double amount of sample volume
and divide result by two.

- If result is shown as [> ] bigger, repeat test using half of the sample volume and
multiply result by two.

3.5 Printing of results

The results of the analysis are shown on the display and printed out on paper.
On request they can be shown in menu PERFORMED TESTS, see chapter 3.8.

3.6 Standardization of tests

A recalibration directly on the analyzer is not possible. In case of calibration questions
ask your distributor or manufacturer cdR srl. For a customized calibration curve you
can store a test with a new name and customer specific calibration factors K and Q.
