Chapter II Analyser Overview

2. Chapter II Analyser Overview


2.1. Analyser test principle
The basic principle of the analyzer is spectrophotometry, i.e. the Lambert-Beer law, which is the

theoretical basis for the quantitative method of absorption spectroscopy.

The mathematical expression is:

A=Kbc

Where A is the absorbance; K is the molar attenuation coefficient or absorptivity of the attenuating

species; b is the optical path length; c is the concentration of the attenuating species. When the

concentration Unit is mol/L, and the unit of K is L/mol•cm, the molar absorption coefficient is usually

represented with ε. The molar absorption coefficient represents the absorption characteristic of a

substance for radiation of a certain wavelength.

For a particular substance, when absorbing radiation of different wavelengths, the corresponding

molar absorption coefficient is also different, that is, ε=fλ. If the concentration of the immobilized

substance and the thickness of the liquid layer are plotted as the absorbance A to the wavelength λ of

the radiation, the absorption spectrum of the substance is obtained. The absorption spectrum curve

embodies the properties of the material, and the different materials have different characteristic curves.

Using the standard curve method, a certain maximum absorption wavelength is selected from the

absorption spectrum of the substance to be tested, and their absorbance are respectively measured at a

range of a standard solution of different concentrations, and the absorbance is plotted against the

concentration. If the absorption of light by the substance to be tested conforms to Lambert-Beer's law, a

straight line passing through the origin, i.e. the standard curve, should be obtained. The absorbance of

the sample solution was measured under the same conditions, and the concentration of the sample

solution was read on a standard curve.

Chapter III Components and functions

3. Chapter III Components and functions


3.1. Components

3.1.1. Reaction disk drive shaft assembly


The main function of the reaction disk drive shaft is to drive the reaction disk to a precise position,

and the operation of the three-dimensional arm enables the sample to be accurately added to each

cuvette. The initial position during the movement of the component is determined by the block on the

code wheel and the corresponding sensor, and the subsequent operation is determined by the number

of steps of the software-controlled rotation of the motor.

7
Chapter III Components and functions

Metal block

3.1.2. Reaction plate


The main function of the reaction plate is to fix the cuvette and provide a constant temperature

environment for the entire reaction process to ensure the accuracy and stability of the instrument. The

precise control process is that the temperature information sent by the sensor, and the software

determines whether the heater wire needs to be electrified. When the temperature is lower than the set

range, the main board electrifies the heating wire, and the generated heat is transmitted to the rotating

disk, the reaction cuvette, and finally the liquid in the cuvette is heated. During this process, if the

sensor/software/main board fails, the heater wire may be electrified all the time. When heated to a

certain temperature, the temperature switch will automatically disconnect to avoid burning the reaction

disk.

3.1.3. Optical module


The optical assembly is the core component of the instrument, which contains halogen lamps (light

sources), right-angle prisms, Plano-convex lenses, heat shields, rear optical systems, photoelectric

acquisition boards and other components. The precise process is that a stable light source is provided

by the halogen lamp, and when the light passes through the right-angle prism, the prism deflects the light

by 90° into the first Plano-convex lens. The lens collects the light into a point and then passes the light

through the heat shields to enter the second lens. The second lens re-refracts the light into parallel rays,

and finally enters the third lens and is reassembled into a point to enter the rear optical system for

detection. The rear optical system transmits the signal to the photoelectric acquisition board for

processing, and finally uploads the signal to the main board for analysis and produce the corresponding

result.

3.1.4. Reagent disk cooling module


The main function of this module is to fix the reagent bottle, ensuring that the operator can place the

reagent bottle in the same position each time. At the meanwhile, the module also provides a relatively

stable low-temperature environment, ensuring that the reagent can be used normally and effectively

during the effective period, promising the detection result is accurate and stable.

The specific action process of the components in the instrument is as follows: the Peltier plate is

divided into front and back sides, one for cooling and the other for heat dissipating. The cooling side is

closely attached to the reagent disk, and the heat dissipating side is closely attached to the radiator.

During the operation, the fan removes the heat from the radiator, producing a cooling effect. Real-time

monitoring of integrated sensors and software control maintain the chamber at a specific temperature

range.

3.1.5. Probe outer washing module


The components are mainly used to provide a clean environment for the sample probe to ensure

that the sample and reagent are not contaminated. At the same time, the inside of the module is

equipped with silicone gel, which can be used to expel the bubbles from the pipelines to ensure the

accuracy of sampling and the liquid level detection function.

3.1.6. Pump
The pump module consists of two 600ml diaphragm pumps, a 300ml rotary pump, two stepper

motor drives, one confluence block and one lower interface. The operation of each component can be

described by taking the cleaning sample probe as an example: when the sample probe needs cleaning,

10
Chapter III Components and functions

it is first moved to the position of the washing well, then the software controls the diaphragm pump and

the solenoid valve to supply the distilled water to clean the inner wall of the probe. At the same time, the

water supplied by the rotary pump is controlled to clean the outer wall of the sample probe in the

cleaning position. The waste water flows through the washing well to enter the confluence block, and

finally the other diaphragm pump draws the waste water from the confluence block to the waste water

tank to complete the entire cleaning process.
