1.1.1 Features
■ Compact size enables installation in almost any location
This compact instrument is close to A5 in size, and weighs less than 1 kg for
easy carrying. Water supply and drainage equipment is not needed, so the
instrument can be easily installed in any location and used for immediate
testing during physical examinations and in clinics. This instrument can be
used to measure multiple biochemical items that are useful for monitoring
internal disease and other conditions, such as creatinine.
■ Easy calibration by IC-CHIP
Calibration can be performed without the need for a calibrator using the
IC-CHIP provided with each test strip. When opening a reagent, simply read
the IC-CHIP into the instrument. This enables automatic calibration, even for
differences between lots.
■ Identification of reagent type by barcode
When measurement is started the type of reagent loaded is automatically
identified. Multiple reagent types can be measured without the need for
additional operation.

1.1.3 Measurement Principle
■ Test strip measurement
The instrument is equipped with multiple light source LEDs of varying
wavelength. The light is dispersed on the light path and transmitted to the
photometric unit. The dispensed sample fills the photometric cell and reacts
with the reagents in the cell, changing the absorbance and turbidity. The light
source LED shines on the cell, and the light that transmits through is read by
a photodiode (receiver). The amount of transmitted light that is read is
converted to a concentration.
