System Description

The sample disk provides 40 sample tube positions and the reagent disk provides 40
reagent bottle positions. On the reagent disk, No. 39 is for detergent and No. 40 is
for distilled water.

NOTE:
Mindray recommends you to use the following detergents:

Acid: 0.1mol/l hydrochloric acid; Alkaline: 0.5% (V/V) javel water。

The sample disk can hold the following sample tubes:

Micro sample cup and centrifugal tube


Collection tube: Ф12×68.5, Ф12×99, Ф12.7×75 and Ф12.7×100
Plastic tube

The reagent disk can only hold Mindray bottles, which are available in two types,
40ml and 20ml.

The sample/reagent disk is located in the sample/reagent compartment, which has a


refrigerator to keep the temperature at 4-15 ˚C.

WARNING:
Make sure the disk cover is closed; otherwise it may degrade the
refrigeration and damage the probe.
Before running the analyzing unit, make sure that the disk cover is
closed and the round red mark on the cover is aligned with its
counterpart on the panel. Otherwise the probe may be damaged.

NOTE:
The refrigerator will be put into service once the MAIN POWER is
turned on.
Do not use sample tubes and reagent bottles other than the specified
ones.

1.1.1.2 Dispenser

The dispenser is composed of a probe, arm and rotor.

1-3
System Description

Figure 1-3 Dispenser

Arm
Rotor

Probe
Wash Well

The probe aspirates certain amount of sample from the designated sample tube, or
reagent from the designated reagent bottle, and then dispenses them into the
designated cuvette on the reaction disk.

After dispensing the sample or the reagent, the probe moves to the wash well for
cleaning.

Sample volume: 3µl-45µl; precision: 0.5µl.


Reagent volume: 30µl -450µl; precision: 1µl.

The dispenser is capable of preheating the reagent, detecting the sample/reagent


level, capable of tracking level and protecting against collision in the vertical
direction.

WARNING:
When the analyzing unit is in operation, do not place any part of your
body or any obstacle in the route the arm moves. Otherwise, it may
lead to personnel injury or equipment damage.

Wash Well

The mixing bar thoroughly stirs the reaction mixture (reagent and sample) in the
cuvette. After stirring, it moves to the wash well for cleaning.

For the single-reagent test, the mixer starts to work after the sample is dispensed
into the cuvette.

For the double-reagent test, the mixer starts to work after the sample or the second
reagent is dispensed into the cuvette.

7 Calculation Methods

7.1 Analytical Methods


The analyzer can provide three analytical 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.

Figure 7-1 Single-reagent Endpoint reaction

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 .

Figure 7-2 Double-reagent Endpoint reaction

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.

The endpoint reaction is largely insensitive to minor changes in such condition


changes as amount of enzyme, pH and temperature, provided the changes are not
significant enough to affect the reaction time.

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,

[S0] - initial substrate concentration

e - base of the natural log

k - rate constant

The change in substrate concentration ∆[S] over a fixed-time interval, t1 to t 2 , is


related to [S0] by the following equation:

− ∆[ 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 .

Figure 7-4 Double-reagent Fixed-time reaction

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.

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.

As shown in Figure 7-6, t1 is the time when the first reagent is added, and t 2 is

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.

Di - AD output after the substrate is added

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.
