INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOMETER 5010
This device is a semi-automated, programmable photometer for In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) by qualified laboratory
staff.
It is operated via touchscreen. Remote control is possible by a serial data interface (chapter 7.2.5 - Serial
interface – REMOTE CONTROL).
For measuring methods several programmed methods with open parameters are available (chapter 5 -
CALCULATION PROCEDURES and chapter 12 - METHOD LIST).
Besides, up to 231 methods - built up on the basic methods - can be established and stored by the operator with
a method editor. A list of methods can be printed out (chapter 6 - METHOD EDITOR).
Up to 50 nonlinear calibration curves with maximum 20 sets of points can be stored (chapter 7.2.2 - Multi-
standard functions).
Photometer
5010
offers a flexible cuvette concept: A special flow-through cuvette and a peristaltic pump provide
for speedy operation with an optimal tempering of the measuring solution. Alternatively the measuring solution
can be measured in one-way or glass cells in the provided standard cuvette adaptor.
By means of a combination of transistor and Peltier element the solution reaches fast and accurately one of the
three selectable temperatures, 25 °C, 30 °C or 37 °C.
The Photometer
5010
is standard equipped with six optical filters of the wavelengths 340, 405, 492, 546, 578
and 623 nm. If required, they can be exchanged against any wavelength within the range of 340-800 nm. Three
additional filters, e.g. 670 nm, can be installed.
The device is equipped with a rugged graphics printer (8 dot matrix) with 24 characters per line using standard
paper.
The measuring data can be stored and managed in the Photometer
5010
(chapter 7.2.8 - Data logging).
According to a GLP conformal documentation the names of lab and operator can be printed out as well as
transferred to EDP (chapter 7.2.5 - Serial interface – EDP ON/OFF).
In Photometer
5010
up to 50 methods can be supervised with a quality control (chapter 7.2.6 - Quality control).
Numerous utility programs permit the individual configuration of the device. Function tests support the analysis
of sources of error.
Photometer
5010
is future-proof by FLASH MEMORY technology: The operating system can be updated with
program novelties and/or improvements comfortably, without having to open the equipment (chapter 7.2.5 -
Serial interface – DOWNLOAD).
