Operating manual
Automatic biochemical analyzer is based on Lambert’s Beer Law to analyze and calculate, the basic
calculation methods including:
Endpoint method: Reaction reaches equilibrium after a period of reaction, because the equilibrium
constant of reaction is very big, then all the substrate (sample) can be thought transform into product,
and the absorbance of reaction solution is not increase (or decrease) any more, and the increase (or
decrease) of absorbance level is directly proportional to the concentration of the test sample. This
kind of method is often called "end point" method, and to be more precise should become balanced
method, which is the most ideal type of analysis.
End point method is insensitive to small change of reaction conditions (such as enzyme amount, PH,
temperature, etc.), as long as this change will not affect the reaction reaches equilibrium within a
certain amount of time.

Two point-speed methods is also known as primary kinetic method and fixed time method, is another
form of dynamic method. In a certain reaction time, reaction rate is directly proportional to the
substrate concentration in first power, that is: v=k[S]. Due to the substrate is consuming constantly,
so the reaction rate is constantly decreasing, so the absorbance change is more and more small.
This kind of reaction will take a very long time to reach equilibrium, so theoretically you can monitor it
at any time, but due to the complexity of serum components, reaction is complex in the start point, so
please wait until the reaction into stable reaction period.

Note
Rate method is also called the zero order dynamics method, reaction rate is directly proportional to
the substrate concentration in zero power, so that is nothing to do with the substrate concentration. In
the process of the reaction, reactant can produce a product in constant speed, and cause the
absorbance of test solution evenly decrease or increase under a certain wavelength, and the
decrease or increase speed is directly proportional to the activity or concentration of the analyze.
Rate method is also known as the continuous monitoring method, it is mainly used for the
determination of enzyme activity. Enzymes are a kind of special protein which produced by living
organisms and have catalytic effect in vivo and in vitro, and almost all of the metabolic reactions in
vivo are enzyme catalysis. Enzyme catalytic efficiency is very high and very unstable. The
concentration change of enzyme in the human body can reflect a lot of diseases. At the same time,
enzyme content is very low, so in addition to the immunological method, it cannot be tested directly,
and you can only measure the material changes within a certain time in the process of catalytic
reaction, namely enzymatic reaction rate, or enzyme activity. And you can through measuring the
concentration decrease of substrate or the concentration increase of product, to track the process of
substrate conversion into product in enzymatic reaction. Enzymatic reaction process can be divided
into several periods. Delay period: Early stage of the chemical reaction, the change of substrate and
product are not obvious, this period lasts few seconds to minutes; zero order reaction period: The
period which the change of substrate and product and time are in a straight line, and the product is
produced in constant speed; first order reaction period: The period which the reaction rate is continue
decreasing.

5.3 Calibration
Test the absorbance change rate of the known concentration calibration solution, and then according
to the computational relationship between concentration and change rate (Calibration method), to
calculate the coefficient of the computational relationship (Calibration coefficient), and then
determine the specific operation expression between concentration and change rate. So the routine
sample can be tested according to the specific operation expression and the absorbance change
rate.
5.3.1 Introduction
Calibrate the test items by calibration reference materials, this is the necessary condition to provide
accuracy and reliability measurement data for clinical. Calibration is under specified conditions to test
the control solution, and then compare the test results with control solution reference range. The test
items which tested by clinical biochemical analyzer must calibrate by calibration reference materials.
Calibration process: Through a certain concentration calibration substance, and using the product of
chemical reaction to determine the light absorption of reaction solution for specific wavelength, and
then change the absorbance variation to concentration value. Usually is according to the relationship
between absorbance value and concentration (Calibration method), to determine the calculation
formula or to draw the standard curve.
Calibration method is mainly divided into two categories: linear calibration and nonlinear calibration.
The linear calibration is divided into two kinds, one kind is completely linear, the other is piecewise
linear.
method (also called factor method), two points linear calibration method (also called linear
method) and multipoint points linear calibration method (3 points and above) (also called linear
regression method)

5.4.1 Introduction
System uses Levery Jennings and Westgard quality control method to judge the QC results for all the
test items. Since each test item may set to use one or more than one control solution, therefore, the
system uses different rules to judge different conditions.
This method belongs to the first generation quality control method; the specific rules are as follows:
1-2S rule: Any quality control result exceeding mean value ±2SD, judged to be out of control.
1-3S rule: Any quality control result exceeding mean value ±3SD, judged to be out of control.
5.4.3Westgard method
The ±2SD and ±3SD control methods of Levey-Jennings have obvious differences between error
detection sensitivity and out of control error recognition specificity, but Westgard method is combine
them skillfully, and introduce other quality control rules to form multiple rules control method. Purpose
is to improve the efficiency of control, both the error detection has good sensitivity, and the
recognition of out of control error has good specificity.
◆ In multiple rules control method, Westgard suggests use two control solution, high concentration
and low concentration, to form a control range.(You can also just use one control solution, but
there are a lot of limitations)
◆ Draw seven parallel lines on the quality control chart: mean value, mean value+1S, mean value
-1S, mean value +2S, mean value -2S, mean value +3S and mean value -3S,convenient for
observation.
◆ In Westgard method, the 1-2S is only as the warning rule, not the out of control rule. Make full
use of it has good sensitivity on error detection, but also limits its weakness on error specificity is
poor.
It only points out the possible problems, but still needs through a series of sequence checking, and
then judging by other rules.
◆ After selection, the 1-3S, 2-2S, R-4S, 4-1S and 10X rules are listed as out of control rules, so it
will both sensitive to random errors and system error. So the multiple rules control method is
greatly improving the control efficiency.
108
Operating manual
1-2S Warning
1) 1-2S rule
Because the 1-2S is only as the warning rule, not the out of control rule. If the test results of this
batch are both within the range of mean value ±2S, then it indicates the test results of this batch are
both under control. If there has one QC result exceeding the range of mean value ±2S(Do not include
the results just on the mean value ±2S line), then it indicates the test results of this batch may have
problems, need to check, but is only a warning, not out of control. And then please according to the
quality control method to check whether there are the following out of control performances.
109
Operating manual
2) 1-3S rule
If there has one QC result not only exceeding the range of mean value ±2SD, but also exceeding the
range of mean value ±3SD, judged to be out of control, it belongs to the random error.
3) 2-2S rule
2-2S rule:
The test results of two control solution from the same batch are exceeding the control range of mean
value ±2SD. Or the test results of same control solution from two continuous batches are both
exceeding the control range of mean value ±2SD, judged to be out of control, it belongs to the
system error.
110
Operating manual
4) R-4S rule
The test results of two control solution from the same batch are exceeding the control range of 4SD,
one is exceeding mean value +2SD, the other is exceeding mean value -2SD, judged to be out of
control, and it belongs to the random error.
5) 4-1S rule
4-1S:
① Including this warning QC result, the three previous QC results of this control solution and this
QC result are both exceeding the control range of mean value ±1SD.
② Including this warning QC result, the previous QC result of this control solution is exceeding the
control range of mean value ±1SD, and the two QC results of another control solution are both
exceeding the control range of mean value ±1SD.
111
Operating manual
6) 10X rule
10 consecutive QC results are fall in the same side of the mean value (higher or lower than the mean
value, for the size of the deviation does not require), judged to be out of control, and it belongs to the
system error.
When quality control results appear the above situation, please pay attention to the following
matters:
1) 1-2S is warning rules, not out of control rules. When test result is exceeding the control range of
mean value ±2SD, you do not need to retest it immediately, please check whether it really out of
control.
2) Even it really out of control, please do not delete the QC results which are exceeding the control
range of mean value ±2SD, because after all these points are deleted, the results range will
become small, and then the S of next month quality control chart will become small too; And then
the quality control range will become unreal, increase the difficulty of control.
112
Operating manual
3) So when appears 1-2S, please first check whether it really out of control. And when it really out
of control, retest the control solution, and check out of control reason, and then please retest the
patient sample after correct the error.

In the process of biochemical test, the user sometimes needs to do some special settings. This
chapter is mainly to introduce the user to set blank, substrate exhaustion judgment method, custom
print and LIS.
Note
7.1.1 Introduction
In testing, for some special reagent, user needs according to its features to do the related blank
setting. For example: in immune reagent’s emulsion method item, there is a unique blank
interference in emulsion method reagent, and it cannot be eliminated by 2-point endpoint method.
Takes H-CRP item as an example, the item uses double reagent, after the first reagent mixed with
sample, it still the same like common reagent, but after adding the second reagent, it will produce a
absorbance jump, and then gradually reaction. And this sudden jump is due to the latex
components in the second reagent, so the smooth curve which behind that is the real reaction, so
you should select the stable range to calculate the results, as shown in figure below:
141
Operating manual
Software blank setting provides blank calculation start point (n) setting and blank calculation end
point (m) setting, to avoid the jump part, so that the calculation results more close to the real value.
Because different reagent or item may cause different jump position, so the software provides
different setting selections, as shown in figure below:
Advanced mode setting requires you according to the corresponding immune reagent item’s reaction
curve to set the blank start point and blank end point, thus avoid the blank jump part for effective
calculation.
Generally, there are four settings in advanced mode (only discuss single reagent or double reagent),
takes adding sample point and adding R2 point as nodes, as shown in figure 7.1.2-2, blank selection
range is divided into A, B and C three parts.
Double reagent item is open blank 1, blank 2, blank 3 and blank 4 settings
142
Operating manual
1) The first blank setting, takes sample(S) as node, selects Before adding sample as blank
interval, as shown in figure 7.1.2-3, S is the adding sample point, the blank absorbance is the
average absorbance from n point to the m point.
Note
2) The second blank setting, takes sample(S) as node, selects After adding sample as blank
interval, as shown in figure 7.1.2-4, S is the adding sample point, the blank absorbance is the
average absorbance from n point to the m point.
143
Operating manual
Note
1) Point m should be greater than point n.
2) M times period should be less than the first reagent’s incubation time.
3) The third blank setting, takes adding the second reagent(R2) as the node, selects Before
adding the second reagent as blank interval, as shown in figure 7.1.2-5, R2 is the adding the
second reagent point, the blank absorbance is the average absorbance from n point to the m
point.
Note
1) Point m should be greater than point n.
2) M times period should be less than the second reagent’s incubation time.
144
Operating manual
4) The fourth blank setting, takes adding the second reagent(R2) as the node, selects After
adding the second reagent as blank interval, as shown in figure 7.1.2-6, R2 is the adding the
second reagent point, the blank absorbance is the average absorbance from n point to the m
point.
Note
1) Point m should be greater than point n.
2) M times period should be less than the second reagent’s incubation time.
7.2.1 Introduction
Note
Substrate exhaustion judgment is only effect on rate method.
In rate method test, some high concentration (active) sample will make substrate exhaustion, make
the reaction is no longer level 0 or level 1, if the instrument does not have the substrate exhaustion
judgment function or set the identification parameters incorrectly, will lead to incorrect results. So in
order to correctly reflect the determination results, it is necessary to set the substrate exhaustion limit
(a specific absorbance), this absorbance is the critical point of linear area and nonlinear area or level
1 reaction area and multistage reaction area.
145
Operating manual
When uses continuous monitoring method to test the enzyme activity, during the monitoring periods,
if absorbance increase or decrease more than the substrate exhaustion limit, then the sample
enzyme activity is very high, the substrate will be exhausted, so the absorbance will deviate from the
linear, make the determination results is unreliable.
This analyzer provides two kinds of substrate exhaustion judgment method, and figure 7.2.1 shows
the substrate exhaustion situation in single reagent and negative reaction
Relevant experiments are used to determine the absorbance value of substrate exhaustion, set the
limit, the average of last three points in positive reaction absorbance reading area is greater than the
absorbance value of substrate exhaustion limit, negative reaction is less than this value, then judged
as substrate exhaustion. Figure 7.2.2-1 is the first substrate exhaustion judgment setting area.
146
Operating manual
Substrate exhaustion judgment method 2: Judgment based on reaction curve slope (absorbance
change rate), and set the related settings in reagent parameter setting interface.
Test points: Normal points reading area’s slope (absorbance change rate) which set up by reagent
parameters.
In the second substrate exhaustion method, set the points reading area’s slope (absorbance change
rate).
3) Start point
Deputy slope as the reading point start point, in single reagent, start counting point after adding the
sample; in double reagent, start counting point after adding the second reagent, and then start point
cannot greater than the main slope’s start reading point.
147
Operating manual
4) End point
Deputy slope reading point end point, and the reading point of end point should be less then the last
point of main slop.
5) Slope ratio
Slope ratio: Main slope/deputy slope. When the value of the slope ratio is less than the setting value,
then it will be judged as substrate exhaustion, this method can be used in conjunction with the first
method 1, or only use the first method.
When it judged as substrate exhaustion, no matter is triggered by the first method or the second
method, as long as you check the second judgment method, the system will automatically take the
deputy slope (absorbance change rate) as the calculation slope, and then the sample result is:
deputy slope ×K.
Note
Deputy slope’s start point is restricted by main slope’s start point, so the start point cannot
be greater than the main slope’s start point, and the end point is also cannot be greater
than the main slope’s end point.
148
Operating manual
Note
Double reagent judgment method is the same as the above method.

Operating manual
The reliability of test result is determined by two aspects: One is the precision, which means test
results are stable in repeatability. Precision can be guaranteed by establishing perfect room quality
control system; the other one is accuracy, which means test results close to target value. Accuracy
can be guaranteed by proper method and calibration. It is, therefore, necessary to select certified
control sample and calibration solution, and use them strictly according to their instructions.
1) Freeze-dry control, liquid control and mixed control serum, classified according to physical
property.
2) Fixed value and non-fixed value control sample, classified according to the presence and
absence of fixed value. Different inspection body can choose more than one quality control as
quality control.
Inspection institutions should be according to their own situation to choose one or more than one
quality control materials as their indoor quality control materials.
1) Use control sample following the Instructions for Use provided by control supplier.
2) Make sure the quality of control solution redissolved from freeze-dry control sample is stable.
3) Make sure the dilution ratio is accurate and consistent each time redissovling freeze-dry control
sample.
4) DO NOT shake control sample fiercely when redissovling freeze-dry control sample.
6) Perform QC analyses under the same operating conditions as that of sample analyses.
159
Operating manual
QC target value and control limit are usually provided by the control samples supplier, also, you can
determine them through the following methods:
Perform QC analyses at least 20 times with a new batch of control sample. Calculate the mean
value and standard deviation from the obtained QC data.
Obtain the accumulated mean value of original 20 QC data as the target value while the
accumulated mean value of 3~5 month QC data as the standard deviation.
Control limit is the multiplier of standard deviation. Control limit of analytical item is determined
according to different QC rules.
8.3 Calibration
Calibration solution contains the known quantity object, which is used for calibrating the value of this
method; the calibration solution is concerned with the method, reagent and instrument. The function
of calibration solution is to reduce or eliminate systematic error caused by instrument and reagent. It
should be better to use human serum matrix to reduce matrix effect.
It is suggested to perform calibration every six months or under the following situations:
When changing reagent batch number or type, unless specified by the lab that the change will
not influence the precision.
After replacing the major components, such as lamp, sampling mechanism, probe, or cuvette
etc.
When control result shows abnormal offset, tendency, or falls out of the acceptable range and it
cannot be corrected by routine tests.

2) Simply and quickly review the operating procedure to find out the possible reasons.
3) If no evident error is found, move to the following steps for further checkup.
Retest the out-of-control item by using the same bottle of control sample. Strictly obey the
operation flow to check if the out-of-control is due to operation incorrectly or random error. If
retest result falls outside the acceptable range, proceed to the next step.
Retest the out-of-control item by using a new bottle of control sample (same lot). If retest result is
in control, the previous bottle of control sample may be to blame. If retest result still falls outside
the allowable range, proceed to the next step.
Retest the out-of-control item by using a new lot of control sample. If retest result is in control,
the previous lot of control sample may be deteriorated. Then check the expiration date and
storage condition. If retest result still falls outside the allowable range, proceed to the next step.
Perform instrument maintenance; retest the out-of-control item. Check the instrument state;
check whether the light source is changed or not; and whether the cuvette need to wash or
replaced. Furthermore, replacing reagent. If the retest result still falls outside range, proceed to
the next step.
Re-calibration and retest out-of-control item. Perform calibration by using new calibrating
solution. Proceed to the next step if the result still falls outside range.
Obtain technical help. If you cannot get the in-control result after performing the above five steps,
contact reagent manufacturer or URIT to get more technical support.
