Do not move or remove the pen from its position
during the reading process, this can cause erroneous
readings or even cancellation of the same.
If the auto-reader detects that the protein pen has
not been placed properly in the reading position, a
ticket will be printed indicating: "Pen not detected.
Check result visually".
It is not possible to reuse an already incubated
protein pen.

firmware version or higher (others versions could report
different values).
5.Once the incubation process is complete, an audible alarm
indicates the end of the program. The sample is read and the
protein value is calculated based on a BSA (Bovine Seric
Albumin) calibration/standard curve. Then, the auto-reader will
print a ticket confirming the calculated protein concentration. If
the value is below the selected threshold, a green light
will appear, indicating a
negative
result, if it is by above the
selected threshold, a red light
will appear, indicating a
positive
result. In both cases, one of the lights of the PRO panel
will indicate the approximated rank of concentration calculated
between 1 to 5 µg; if the value exceeds the 5 µg all the lights on
the panel they will light up. The threshold to determine a positive
or negative result can be configured using the Bionova
®
traceability software. The configuration process is outlined in
the Bionova
®
traceability software manual. The factory-set
threshold is 1 µg.
NOTE
:
30 seconds before the end of the program, the
auto-reader will emit an alarm that will last until the
reading is complete, notifying the operator that the
incubation time will be fulfilled. The color of the solution
can be used for a qualitative reading only if the pen
is removed once the program finalizes. If the pen is
not removed at that time, the color of the solution will
continue to evolve.
Read the directions for use of each product and be
aware of the sensibility limits.
