5.2
Preparing the reagent disc (example of SMT-120V matched Pulitai
reagent disc)
Description:
The reagent disc matched with SMT-120V veterinary chemistry analyzer is 8CM in diameter
and 2 cm thick. It contains diluent in the center and dry reagent beads in cuvettes around its
edge. It is disposable and single packed.
There are multiple test menus for choosing from, and customization is available.
5.2.1 Storage and
Preparing
Store all reagent discs at 2-8
º
C as described on their respective pouch labels. Discs
should be used after 20 minutes in room temperature when take from the refrigerator.
Use the reagent disc within 10 minutes of opening the foil pouch, and if it is not used in
time, dispose it instead of putting back to the refrigerator and use it again.
A disc can remain in its sealed pouch at room temperature (about 25° C) for a cumulative
period of 48 hours. Longer time at room temperature can cause suppression of chemistries
and disc cancellations.
Do not expose discs - in or out of their foil pouches - to direct sunlight or to temperatures
above 32
°
C
Inspect the unopened foil pouch for tears and punctures. Never use a reagent disc that
has cracks or has been damaged.
Keep reagent discs clean. Use powder-free gloves to handle the discs, and touch the
discs only along their edges to eliminate the possibility of fingerprints on the cuvette
optical surfaces.
Only make marks in the gray area on the reagent disc, seeing Figure 5-1
After introducing the sample, hold the reagent disc flat to avoid spillage.
