Access 2 Immunoassay Analyzer
The Access 2 Immunoassay Analyzer is a random access
immunoassay instrument. The Access 2 Analyzer is intended for the
in vitro determination of a variety of analytes such as cardiac markers,
thyroid hormones, cancer markers, fertility hormones, and anemia
markers in biological fluids such as serum, plasma, and urine (sample
type is assay dependent).
The Access consists of the following modules:
Carousel Module
The Carousel Module identifies samples and presents samples and
reagents to the main pipettor. The reagents are stored in a
refrigerated reagent compartment that holds 24 reagent packs.
Automation racks on the sample carousel receive aliquots from the
CTA. Racks may be manually loaded for maintenance, calibration, low
volume sample processing, and independent mode operation.
Main Pipettor Module
The Main Pipettor Module pipettes sample and reagent into a Reaction
Vessel in the Analytical Module. The Main Pipettor level senses,
mixes reagent, mixes the reaction mixture, and cleans the probe by
ultrasonics.
Fluidics Module
The Fluidics Module provides wash buffer delivery, liquid waste
removal and substrate delivery.
Analytical Module
The testing process occurs at the Analytical Module. Reaction
Vessels (RVs) which are used for the testing process are stored here.
During the testing process, vessels are transported, incubated,
washed, and have readings taken.
