The reagent blank is vital to obtaining correct analysis results. The
blank results can assist in determining whether the reagents have
expired, or whether the reaction background should be deducted, and
in eliminating the absorbance changes caused by the reagents
themselves. Mindray recommends the reagent blank be run on a daily
base.

double-reagent tests that use endpoint method if no new reagent blank
result is available.

7 Calculation Methods
Endpoint
Fixed-time
Kinetic
7.1.1 Endpoint
The endpoint or, more correctly, equilibrium method, is the most ideal. The reaction
reaches equilibrium after a period of time. Because the equilibrium constant is very
large, it can be considered that all substrates (analytes) have changed into products,
and the absorbance of the reactant does not change any more. The absorbance
change is directly proportional to the analytes concentration.
t1 t2 t3 t
As shown in Figure 7-1, t1 is the time when the reagent is added, and t 2 is the
time when the sample is added. The reaction starts when they are mixed. At t 3 the
reaction reaches equilibrium and the absorbance reading is taken. The reaction
period is t 2 to t 3 .
t1 t2 t3 t4 t
7-1
Calculation Methods
As shown in Figure 7-2, t1 is the time when the first reagent is added, and t 2 is
the time when the sample is added, incubation starts when they are mixed. t 3 is
the time when the second reagent is added, then the reaction starts when they are
mixed. At t4 the reaction reaches equilibrium and the absorbance reading is taken.
t 2 to t 3 is the incubation period and t 3 to t 4 is the reaction period.
7.1.2 Fixed-Time
For the fixed-time reaction method (namely, first-order kinetic method or initial rate
method), the reaction velocity (v), within a specific period, is directly proportional to
the substrate concentration [S], namely, v=k[S]. As the substrate is consumed
continuously, the reaction velocity becomes smaller and smaller, and so does the
change rate of the absorbance. It takes much time for such a reaction to reach
equilibrium. Theoretically, the absorbance reading can be taken at any time. The
reaction can, however, become steady only after a delay because it is complicated at
the beginning and there are miscellaneous reactions due to the complex serum
compositions. For any first order reaction, the substrate concentration [S] at a given
time after the start of the reaction is given by the following:
[S ] = [S 0 ]× e − kt
Where,
k - rate constant
− ∆[ S ]
[ S 0] = − kt1 − kt 2
e −e
That is, within a fixed time interval, the change in substrate concentration is directly
proportional to its initial concentration. This is the general property of first order
reactions. Within this interval, absorbance change is directly proportional to the
analytes concentration.
7-2
Calculation Methods
Figure 7-3 Single-reagent Fixed-time reaction
t1 t2 t3 t4 t
As shown in Figure 7-3, t1 is the time when the reagent is added and t 2 is the
time when the sample is added. The reaction starts when they are mixed. From t 3
the reaction becomes steady and t 4 is the time to stop monitoring the reaction. t 2
to t 3 is the delay period, and the absorbance readings are respectively taken at t 3
and t 4 .
t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t
As shown in Figure 7-4, t1 is the time when the first reagent is added, and t 2 is
the time when the sample is added, and then the mixture absorbance reading is
taken after they are mixed. t 3 is the time when the second reagent is added, then
the reaction starts when they are mixed. At t4 the reaction reaches equilibrium, and
t 5 is the time to stop monitoring the reaction. t 2 to t 3 is the incubation period,
and t 3 to t 4 is the delay period. The absorbance readings are respectively taken
at t 4 and t 5 .
The fixed-time reaction is more demanding technically than the equilibrium method.
Because reaction rate is measured at two different points, all the factors that affect
reaction rate, such pH, temperature, and amount of enzyme, must be kept constant
from one assay to the next, as must the timing of the two measurements. A
reference solution of the substrate must be used for calibration.
7.1.3 Kinetic
For the kinetic method (namely, zero-order kinetic or continuous-monitoring method),
the reaction velocity is not related to the substrate concentration and remains
constant in the reaction process. As a result, for a given wavelength, the absorbance
of the analytes changes evenly, and the change rate (∆A/min) is directly proportional
7-3
Calculation Methods
to the activity or concentration of the substrate. The kinetic method is usually used to
measure enzyme activity.
In fact, it is impossible for the substrate concentration to be high enough, and the
reaction will be no longer a zero-order reaction when the substrate is consumed to a
certain degree. Therefore, the theory only stands within certain period. In addition,
the reaction can become steady only after a certain period of time, because the
reaction is complicated at the beginning and there are miscellaneous reactions due
to the complex serum compositions.
t1 t2 t3 tn
t
As shown in Figure 7-5, t1 is the time when the reagent is added, t 2 is the time
when the sample is added and the reaction starts when they are mixed. From t 3
the reaction becomes steady. t n is the time to stop monitoring the reaction. t 2 to
t 3 is the delay period, and t 3 to t n is the monitoring period, during which the
absorbance readings are taken.
t1 t2 t3 t4 tn

As shown in Figure 7-6, t1 is the time when the first reagent is added, and t 2 is
the time when the sample is added, and then they are mixed. t 3 is the time when
the second reagent is added, then the reaction starts when they are mixed. At t4 the
reaction reaches equilibrium, and tn is the time to stop monitoring the reaction. t 3
to t 4 is the delay period, and t 4 to t n is the monitoring period, during which the
absorbance readings are taken.

7.2.1 Absorbance
The analyzer measures the light intensity through photoelectric conversion, linear
amplification and AD conversion. For the light intensity signal I i of Channel i, the
AD output Di is:
Di = K pe ⋅ K a ⋅ K ad ⋅ I i
Where,
K ad - AD conversion factor
Di - data of Channel i
So,

7-5
Calculation Methods
Where,
Ai - absorbance of Channel i
Di 0 - background AD output
In theory, when the lights are off, the AD output of each channel will be zero. In
practice, because of the existence of dark current, there is still a background output
Dibackground , which should be deducted. Then, the complete absorbance formula
should be:
Di 0 − Dibackground
Ai = lg
Di − Dibackground
7.2.2 Response
For the analyzer, the response (R) is defined as the absorbance change before and
after the reaction, or the absorbance change rate during the reaction process.
The formula for calculating the response (R) is closely related to the analytical
method (kinetic, fixed-time and endpoint), the number of reagents (single or double),
and the number of wavelengths (single or double). They are respectively detailed in
the following sections.
