2.4 Measuring principle
·
After the last wash cycle has been completed, the reaction
module is transported into the measuring chamber.
·
When the first cavity of the reaction module reaches the
position under the injection head, starter reagent 1 will be
injected into the first cavity.
·
After a pump delay time of 2.5 sec the starter reagent 2 will be
injected into the same cavity to start the chemiluminescence
reaction.
·
After the measuring delay time of 0.1 sec, the measuring signal
is obtained and integrated over the measuring period of 3.0 sec.
