locations for the insertions of the Dispense Cartridges. Depending on the assay
either two or just one Dispense Cartridge (Trigger Solution) might be needed.
The Dispense Cartridges are placed on actuators on the measurement unit and
dispense Trigger Solution into the cuvette from above.
Please refer to the instruction for use of the corresponding assay for details.
MEASUREMENT
UNIT
Cuvettes are transferred from the washer ring into a rotor inside the measurement
chamber. After dispense of a trigger reagent the rotor moves in front of a
photomulitiplier tube (PMT). Here a second trigger reagent can be dispensed (if
necessary, depending on the used detection system). Then the PMT creates a signal
in relative light units that depends on the amount of light created by the
chemiluminescence immunoreaction.
SYSTEM LIQUID The system liquid container (10 l) together with an intermediate container (3.3 l)
allows the refilling of purified water without interruption of the operation of the
KleeYa instrument. A sensor hereby controls the current liquid level and requests
the user to refill purified water at a certain residual volume. For refilling, the user
removes the system liquid container (10 l) and returns it after refilling to its original
position.
WASH BUFFER The wash buffer container (10 l) together with an intermediated container (3.3 l)
allows the refilling of wash buffer without interruption of the operation of the
KleeYa instrument. A sensor hereby controls the current liquid level and requests
the user to refill wash buffer at a certain residual volume. For refilling, the user
removes the wash buffer container (10 l) and returns it after refilling to its original
position.
WASTE The KleeYa instrument is equipped with a container with a solid waste bag (foil bag)
for the solid waste (cuvettes and Anchor Tips). To allow continuous operation during
the exchange of the solid waste bag, the KleeYa instrument is provided with a small
intermediate container. In this small intermediate container, the accumulating solid
waste is collected during the replacement of the solid waste bag. After replacement,
the solid waste automatically falls into the new solid waste bag.
The system is provided with two independent liquid waste containers (2x 10 l). As
soon as one of the two containers is full, the system automatically switches to the
second container and the user is requested to empty the relevant container. This can
be done during operation.
HAND-HELD
BARCODE
SCANNER
(OPTIONAL)
A hand-held barcode scanner can be optionally connected to the KleeYa instrument
for scanning 1D and 2D barcodes. With this barcode scanner, for example, a
recalibrator barcode containing a master curve can be scanned from the package
insert. In addition, a barcode of a sample tube can be scanned separately if it was
not recognized by the instrument scanner.
