Reagent Rotors

The reagent rotors are specially designed to perform all the steps required to convert a few drops of
blood into a panel of test results.

The Sample Fill Line is indicated by the two arrows on the rotor surface. The sample will form a line
between the arrows when sufficient sample has been placed in the rotor sample chamber.

for details on using this feature.
The rotor spins, separating the whole blood sample into plasma
and cells. Precisely measured quantities of plasma and diluent are
mixed together and delivered to the reaction cuvettes along the
rotor perimeter. The diluted plasma dissolves the reagent beads,
initiating the chemical reactions which are monitored photometri-
cally. The bar code printed on the rotor bar code ring provides cal-
ibration data specific for the chemistries in the rotor, ensuring
accurate results.
A sample is introduced into the reagent rotor via the Sample Port.
A circle around the sample port is printed on the surface of each
rotor to aid the operator in locating this port.
