How the Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Laboratory Photometer works
The Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is an open measuring system. This means that it is able to use
various reagents from multiple manufacturers. To perform a test the CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is loaded
with an ERS cartridge filled with reagents from the respective reagent manufacturers. The Instrument
can process endpoint tests, kinetic tests and coagulation tests. Due to the latest LED technology used it
is maintenance-free.
The Instrument is equipped with an RFID card-reader module. RFID cards are necessary for performing
any testing procedures. They are included in the test kits from the respective test manufacturers and
contain all the specific steps for the various tests, the lot data, as well as the calibration data. The
Instrument performs the tests automatically according to that data. Numerous types of tests can be
selected and performed automatically.
The sample and the reagent are automatically mixed within the Instrument. The photometer unit
performs the analysis with a light diode. The absorption of light rays is measured during this process and
the measured value is then converted into the test result using mathematical methods. The result is
displayed on the Tablet PC. Optionally, results can be exported to an external computer or an HIS/LIS
and can also be printed out using an external printer
.
After the test process the door opens automatically and the ERS cartridge can be removed and
discarded. After confirming the result on the Tablet PC and closing the door on the insturment the
system is ready to perform the next analysis.
Manufacturer calibration
The Eurolyser CUBE-S/CUBE Instrument is manufactured according to the highest quality standards in
order to yield safe and accurate testing results. Every Instrument is inspected and calibrated during the
manufacturing process, using the EU-stipulated reference methods.
