Automatic Analysis Process
This system is composed of the following units.
They are sampler, sample delivery,
reagent tray, reagent delivery, reaction tray, mixing units, cuvette washing unit,
spectrophotometer and so on.
The combined movements of mechanical units are explained here. Please refer to
Fig. 2-1 Function diagram and Fig. 2-2 Analysis flow diagram.
Sample cups/tubes with sample in it are set in the sample tray, and reagent
bottles are set in the reagent tray.
Test orders for these samples are entered in Order Entry screen.
When start button is clicked, cuvette washing unit starts washing from No.1
cuvette.
Before the last step of cuvette washing, water blank is measured.

When reaction tray rotates and the cuvette passes the optical measurement
position, light absorption data of 12 wavelengths are measured.
These data are the basis of optical absorption (Absorption = 0) to the following
optical absorption measurement.
After the water blank measurement, de-ionized water is aspirated out and cuvette
inside is wiped out.
When No.1 cuvette advances to one step before the R1 dispensation position,
reagent tray rotates and transports the reagent bottle to the reagent aspiration
position.
Next, R1 probe moves to the aspiration position, above the reagent bottle, then
moves down to the reagent level.
*) This probe has level sensing function and it stops when the probe tip touches the
reagent. The designated amount of reagent is aspirated by reagent pump.
Next, R1 probe goes up and moves to the R1 dispense position and waits for the
cuvette coming to the dispense position.
When the cuvette comes to the position, R1 probe goes down to the designed level
and dispenses the reagent.
Then, R1 probe moves to probe washing pot and both
inside and outside are washed by de-ionized water there.

After that, residual water droplets are wiped out.
2-5
At the 5th cycle after the R1 dispense, sample tray rotates to transfer No.1 sample
cup/tube to the sampling position.
Sample probe moves above the sample cup
then goes down.

*) Sample probe also has level sensing function, and stops at the sample level.
The designated amount of sample is aspirated by sample pump.
Then sample probe moves above No.1 cuvette and goes down to the R1 reagent level
in the cuvette, and dispenses sample.
After the dispensing, probe goes up.
At the next cycle, the cuvette is moved to the mixing station-1, where R1 and
sample are mixed by MU-1, mixing unit.
This mixing is repeated in the next cycle, two times in total.
Sample probe moves to probe washing pot and both inside and outside are washed
by de-ionized water, there.
After that, residual water droplets are wiped out.
After the R1 and sample are mixed, optical measurement starts.
When reaction
tray rotates and the cuvette passes the optical measurement position, light
absorption data of 12 wavelengths are measured.
After 5 minutes of R1 dispense, the cuvette moves to R2 dispense position, the same
position as R1 dispense, then R2 is dispensed by R2 probe, which has same function as
R1 probe.
After the dispensing, R2 probe goes up.
At the next cycle, the cuvette is moved to the mixing station-1, where R2 and
reaction liquid are mixed by MU-1.
This mixing is repeated in the next cycle, two times in total.
R2 probe moves to probe washing pot and both inside and outside are washed by
de-ionized water.
After that, residual water droplets are removed.
After 4 minutes of R2 dispense, the cuvette comes to the mixing station-2, where the
particles in reaction liquid are dispersed again by MU-2.
(Mixing before the
measurement is done by request.)
After 10.7 minutes of sample dispense, reaction liquid in the cuvette is aspirated out
by the No.1 nozzle of the cuvette washing unit and transferred to the waste
reservoir, outside of the system.

Service Manual
Chapter 2
As the last step of the measurement, for the 1 st test of No. 1 sample, optical
absorption data are converted to concentration/activity data using calibration
curve.
But test results will not be printed out till whole test results of No.1
sample are obtained.

The same process is repeated for the 2nd, 3rd test items, and the 2nd, 3rd sample.

2. Sample tray discrimination

Sample tray has combination slit which corresponds to tray number.
When a tray is set to a sampler, a sensor on the STF PCB
detects this slit and recognizes tray kind and number.
3-3
3.1.3.
Function and Operation
1. Function
The sample tray holds cups with patient sample, standard sample or control
sample in it. Then this tray is set to the sampler.
When the tray is set to the sampler, the tray number will be read by the tray
discriminating sensor (Fig. 3-2).
There are two aspiration positions of sample probe; samples set on the outside
of sample tray will be aspirated at A position, and samples set on the inside at
B position.
2. Operation (Refer to Fig. ASSY-3.)
Set sample tray, fitting the hole of sample tray into the guide pin of the
rotating disk (3)
When stepping motor (7) rotates, the rotation is transferred to the rotating disk
(3) and the sample tray through the plane gear (5).
The plane gear (5) has a shade pin, which shades the sensor (6) light at the
initialization. This detects home position.
When home position sensor detects home position, rotary encoder (united with
the motor) is reset and output will be zero.
During the measurement, sample tray rotates clockwise and carries sample
cups to the aspiration position A (in case of the outside), or to the aspiration
position B (in case of the inside) one by one.
Rotary encoder counts motor rotation angle, and sample tray rotation angle is
checked.

Function and Action
1. Function
Various samples, such as patient, standard and control samples, are aspirated
from sample cups at the amount of designated plus small excess then dispensed
designated amount into cuvettes.
Sample probe itself has level sensing function. When it detects sample level,
probe stops going down. Then the fixed amount (designated plus excess) will be
aspirated by sample pump.
After aspiration, probe goes up and rotates to above the cuvette position, goes
down into a cuvette, and again detects the first reagent level. Here the
designated amount of sample is dispensed into the reagent.
After the dispensation, probe goes up and rotates to above the washing pot and
then goes down into the pot. Then the both inside and outside of probe are
washed. The excess sample in the probe is washed out by inside washing water.
After that, water droplet at the probe tip is sucked up in the pot.
3-6
Chapter 3
Service Manual
2. Action (Refer to Fig. ASSY-4.)

When a stepping motor (12) rotates, the rotation is transferred to pulley (10) by
timing belt (11) and then transferred to probe (6) through spline shaft (8) and STM
arm (4).
Pulley (10) has a shade pin (14), which shades the light of home position sensor (9)
at home position. This detects home position at initialization.
- The home position of rotation is reaction cuvette position (dispensation position).
When home position sensor detects home position, rotary encoder is reset and
output will be zero.
When stepping motor (17) rotates, the lower part of spline shaft (8) goes up and
then probe (6) also goes up.
Shade plate is fixed to the lower part of spline shaft (8) and this plate shades the
light of sensor (18) at home position. This detects home position at initialization.
- The home position of up/down motion is the top position.

excess sample amount to increase accuracy of dispensation volume are set as follows.
-
Separation air volume (To prevent mixing of washing water and sample.)
2 micro-liter (constant)
Excess amount (To increase dispensation accuracy.)
After air volume (To prevent sample splash while probe rotation.)
At sample aspiration, designated sample volume (3 30 micro-liter) plus excess

volume (5 micro-liter ) is aspirated after separation air 2 micro-liter is aspirated, and
then air 1 micro-liter is aspirated.
At sample dispensation, air 1 micro-liter and designated sample volume (3 30
micro-liter) is dispensed into cuvettes.

2. Action (Refer to ASSY-5 for assembly drawing.)

The shafts of stepping motors (7) and (13) slide up or down when pulse is given.
This sliding motion is transferred to plungers (3) and (10).
Plungers (3) and (10) have shade pins which shade home position sensor light at
home position. This detects home position at initialization.
- Home position is at the top. (Dispensation ending position)
At aspiration, shafts of stepping motors (7) and (13) go down, and plunger also goes
down.
At dispensation, shafts of stepping motors (7) and (13) go up, and plunger also goes
up.
If plunger will not be at the home position within the fixed time, system gives an

The set reagent bottles for the items (48) can be set on the tray.
Reagent bottles are set on the tray and the tray with the set reagent, dilluent
and washing solution bottles are transferred and rotated to the dispensation
position of reagent probe.
The tray can keep reagents cool as long as main power switch on the back of the
system is ON.
2.
Action (Refer to ASSY-6 for assembly drawing.)

When stepping motor (7) rotates, bottle case (4) rotates via plain gears (8)(9).
Bottle case (4) has radiation plate (15) in the center of the bottom, and the
radiation plate has shade pin which shades the light of home position sensor (17).
This detects home position at initialization. (Position No.1 comes to the reagent
dispensation position.)
At that time, the reading of the rotary encoder (united with motor) is reset to
zero.
In analyzing, the tray carries selected reagent bottles to the reagent dispensation
position.

Function and Action
1. Function
Reagent, dilluent and washing solution, etc. are aspirated from reagent bottle at
the amount of designated plus small excess, then dispensed designated amount
into reaction cuvettes.
Reagent probe itself has level sensing function. When the tip of probe detects
reagent level, probe stops going down. Then the fixed amount (designated plus
excess) will be aspirated by reagent pump.
After aspiration, probe goes up and rotates to above the cuvette position and goes
down into a cuvette, and stops at the set level. Here the designated amount of
reagent is dispensed by reagent pump.
After the dispensation, probe goes up and rotates to above the washing pot and
then goes down into the pot. Then the both inside and outside of probe are
washed and the excess reagent in the probe is washed out by inside washing
solution. After that, water droplet at the probe tip is sucked up in the pot.

Action (Refer to Fig. ASSY-7.)

When a stepping motor (12) rotates, the rotation is transferred to pulley (10) by
timing belt (11) and then transferred to probe (6) through spline shaft (3) and
RTM arm (4).
Pulley (10) has a shade pin (14), which shades the light of home position sensor (9)
- The home position of rotation is the position where R1 probe is at cuvette
position.
When home position sensor detects home position, rotary encoder (united with
motor (12)) is reset and output will be zero.
When stepping motor (17) rotates, the lower part of spline shaft (8) fixed to timing
belt (19) goes up and then probe (6) also goes up.
Shade plate is fixed to the lower part of spline shaft (8) and this plate shades the
light of sensor (18) at home position. This detects home position at initialization.
- The home position of up/down motion is the top position.

Function and Action
Function
This pre-heater is used for heating water (five lines), alkaline solution (one line)
and acidic solution (one line) used for washing of reaction cuvettes after
measurement to 37 Celsius degrees.
This washing water is dispended into reaction cuvettes from dispensation nozzle
of reaction cuvette washing station.
2. Temperature control
The temperature of water is detected by the sensor (fixed to the center of
station, and heater (4) is controlled accurately by PID control on TCD PCB.
3-53
The temperature is set a little higher than 37 Celsius degrees so as to keep

washing water at 37 Celsius degrees when dispensing to reaction cuvettes.
As protection function, thermostat (10) is installed.

In case the temperature exceeds 70 Celsius degrees, power source will be turned
OFF not to electrify to heater (4).
Moreover, to prevent heating empty lines, level sensor (12) is installed in order to
check whether there is any water in it or not
