    Outline of Functions Purpose of the System The AU2700 is a fully automated chemistry analyzer designed for operating ease, speed, and flexibility. It uses liquid, barcoded reagents, and user-friendly Microsoft Windows TM software. The operator is assured a fast turnaround time for response panels, maximum 2133 tests per hour with the ISE, 1600 tests per hour photometric.
  • Page 34 Batch Online The host computer and AU2700 must be online. Multiple sample requisitions are batch processed by the host computer through the operation of the AU2700 prior to sample analysis. Keyboard Entry Analysis is requisitioned by using the keyboard to enter the sample number or the barcode ID located on the sample cup.

  • Page 36 Photometer Lamp The AU2700 has a polychrometer photometry system. A halogen lamp transmits white light through the cuvette. A diffraction grating splits the white light into 13 wavelengths. A silicone photodiode array detects the amount of light transmitted through the cuvettes. Each cuvette is read 28 times (P0 to P27) with 18 seconds between each read point.
