General
The Eurolyser is not the cheapest analyser in its (bench top) class. How is it possible that the
instruments can offer the lowest cost per test?
test
Over the life span of the instrument more than 95% (!) of the test costs are determined by the
reagent consumption. Hence the instrument purchase price is not the most important factor – the
running cost determine if the system (instrument + reagent consumption + maintenance cost) is cost
effective. Due to its outstanding LED photometer the Eurolyser needs less reagent volume than any
other instrument in its class – which results in the lowest cost per test (also called: Total Cost of
Ownership)
Why is a LED (light emitting diode) based photometer better than a halogen lamp photometer?
LED’s have several advantages: they do not drift in wavelength, therefore they are much more
accurate. This accuracy in turn allows lower reading volume of reagents, which results in
tremendous cost savings for the user; LED’s generate no heat – no cooling fan is necessary, no dust
in the instrument, no energy wasted. Additionally, LED’s life span is 100.000 (!) times higher than the
life span of a halogen lamp – they are literally maintenance free! (which of course also results in
lower running cost
What are the different types of analysis methods that the instrument can handle, like specific
proteins ?
Eurolyser handles all kinds of tests, which are made under wet chemistry environment.
What is the sample processing capacity or throughput for end points/enzyme tests?
Throughput: more than 160 - 180 tests/hr. (End Point Mono Liquid) Sample throughput is depending
on how many tests are performed per sample. So you have to divide 160 - 180 by the number of
tests per sample to have the sample throughput.
Calibration
What is
is the calibration frequency suggested ?
System is in optics absolutely stable, so that the calibration frequency only depends on the reagents
used. Eurolyser is an open system, so the calibration frequency depends on the reagents
manufacturer.
Can test be recalibrated with as well as without samples, or only during a run?
Calibration of the system is a completely separated “run” with only calibrators and controls.
Is the calibration process ‘automatic’ (as in Hitachi 912) or semi automatic - as in Vital Selectra II
Semi automatic
Software Flexibility
Are the test parameters alterable that is, is the system open?
Yes, the system is fully open.
Does the system have graphic facility for display of standard curves?
Yes
Instrument
What is the path length of the cuvette, or is it variable, based on pipetting volume?
The optical path is appr. 6,8 mm and not variable. The minimum volume required for proper
measurements is 180µl per test in total in order to fill the reading chamber of the cuvette.
23°c?
What is the reagent cooling temperature reached, say at an ambient temperature of 23°
appr. 10°C below ambient
How many test reagents can be added automatically for a test - 2,3 or 4 ?
Up to 3.
What are the volumes of the reagent containers and what are dead volumes?
The volume of the reagent containers is 50ml,20ml or 10ml (the dead volume is less approx 1 ml.)
Is it possible to use adapters for say different volumes say 30 or 35ml, 20 or15ml, or 3-
3-5ml for low
volume tests like CK-
CK-MB, amylase etc?
Yes, there is an adapter available as an option, which is placed in a reagent – bottle position of the
carousel. Iot helds a 4ml tube for small volumes.
Are the sample/reagent pick up direct like in ILab 600 (from Instrumentation Laboratory, USA) or
involving dead volume losses like in Hitachi 911 or 912?
The sample / reagent pipetting uses a “pick and drop” system with almost zero death volume.
How are the samples and reagents identified – by barcode reader or scanned across?
By optional, handheld barcode reader, connected to PC.
Measurement
re--
Is it possible to dilute sample automatically, and rerun if substrate depletion occurs and re
measure?
Results which exceed the linearity limit of the chemistry are automatically re-tested. The first re-run
will be with lowered sample amount to increase the Linearity range. If still out of range, sample will
automatically be re-tested by adding double reagent volume additionally to the decreased sample
volume.
Optics
What is the type of optics employed - filters or grating or photodiode array system?
Interference filters
What are the unique features and benefits of the “patented linear type photometer” over
conventional type?
This photometer is fitted with LEDs as light sources, which make the system maintenance free. The
reading is disconnected from the other process steps, this means that during reading (e.g. kinetics),
the instrument continues pipetting.
It is connected to special electronics, which make it fully independent from ambient light. The 20
inbuilt photometers are in linear order, the cuvettes are moved like in a street through all 20
channels, and each cuvette is measured at the required position with the required wavelengths.
The patient sera used for this evaluation were provided by the Central lab of the Salzburg County
Hospital. The chemistry used was identical in brand as originally used by the State Hospital. The
testing was done within the facilities of Eurolab by an independent Biochemist (Dr. Pichler) from the
University of Salzburg. The results obtained have been directly compared to the original results from
the Central Lab.
