Modular Chemistry (MC)
The modular chemistry system is used to provide rapid analysis for chemistries
identified in the table below. The reactions occur in individual reaction cup modules
or in an ion selective electrode (ISE) module.

MC Components
Function
DxC Sample Carousel
Sample racks delivered here for sample aspiration
from both the MC and CC sample probe
MC Sample Probe
Aspirates and delivers sample to the MC modules
Reaction Cup Modules
Performs rapid analysis at each individual reaction
cup module. Module configuration is as follows:
DxC 600: GLUCm
DxC 800: GLUCm, BUNm, PHOSm, CREm,
ALBm, and TPm
