Dispensing Arm and Probe
Figure 4-2
The dispensing arm transports the reagents and samples through the probe to a cuvette in the reaction
tray. Reagents and samples are preheated in this arm before being dispensed.
The probe has a conductivity detection system. When the probe is 1 mm below the surface of a
conductive liquid, it stops its movement. Due to this characteristic,
it is important that samples do not
have bubbles
since the level would be detected and only air would be aspirated, producing an
inaccurate result. It is also essential that samples are free of clots and fibrin.
