 3 Operation Principles

3.1 Overview
This analyzer employs Coulter principle to test the number of RBC and PLT, colorimetric
method to measure the hemoglobin concentration, and semiconductor laser flow cytometry
to obtain differential statistics of white blood cells. The analyzer will calculate the other
parameters based on these results.

3.2 Workflow
The whole system contains the following main functions: reagent system, sample allocation,
sample preparation, sample testing, signal processing, parameter analysis, data management,
status monitoring, scheduling control and information processing, human machine interface,
power supply, cleaning and maintenance. The relationship between these functions are as
shown in the chart below.

The scheduling control and information processing function block controls other function
blocks, which collaborate in accordance with the designed processes and requirements to

3-1
 Operation Principles

complete the core task of the whole system, i.e. sample measurement and analysis.

3.3 Sample aspiration

The analyzer will aspirate 15μL (in CBC+DIFF mode) or 11.5μL (in CBC mode) of whole
blood sample in the OV-WB mode.
In OV-PD mode, the operator shall mix 20 μL of capillary blood sample and 480 μL of
diluent outside the analyzer to obtain a diluted sample with the dilution ratio of 1:25, and
send this diluted sample to the analyzer. In this event, the analyzer will aspirate 200 μL of
diluted sample.

3.4 White Blood Cell Measurement

Laser flow cytometry

Figure 3-1 White blood cell measurement

After the blood sample is mixed by the lyse, the red blood cells will be lysed, and the white
blood cells will be dyed. Through the sample probe, the dyed fragments of white blood cell and
red blood cell are injected into the flow cell, which is filled with the diluent. Wrapped in the
sheath fluid formed by the diluent, the cells go through the laser detection zone in rows after a
secondary acceleration. When the cells are exposed to laser beam, the scattered light is related
to the cell size and the refractive index of both the cell membrane and the internal structure.
These scattered light signals are received and converted into electrical pulses by the photodiode.
From these electrical pulses, a two-dimensional distribution map of the cell size and internal
information and be obtained, which is called a scattergram. From the WBC scattergram and
histogram, the white blood cell differential and count can be obtained.

3-2
 Operation Principles

3.5 Hemoglobin Concentration Measurement

Colorimetric method
After the diluted sample is added into the lyse, the red blood cells will lyse and release
hemoglobin, which combines the lyse to form hemoglobin complexes. According to the
Lambert-Beer's law, with the radiation of LED monochromatic light with a central wave length of
530 nm, it is possible to measure the transmitted light density of the hemoglobin complexes in
the solution and background, by which the hemoglobin concentration can be calculated.

Hemoglobin concentration parameters

The concentration of hemoglobin (HGB) in g/L can be calculated from the following
equation.

 Blank Photocurrent 
HGB(g/L) = Constant × Ln  
 Sample Photocurrent 
Red blood cell/Platelet measurement

Impedance method
This analyzer employs the impedance method to count the RBC/PLT. There is a small
opening in the RBC bath, which is called inspection aperture. A pair of electrodes on both sides
of the aperture are connected to a constant current power supply. Since the cells are poor
conductor of electricity, when the cells in the diluted sample pass through the aperture under a
constant negative pressure, the resistance between the electrodes changes to generate a pulse
signal across the electrodes, which is proportional to the cell size. The number of the pulses is
equal to the number of cells that pass the aperture, and the amplitude of the pulses is
proportional to the cell size.

3-3
 Operation Principles

Figure 3-2 The counting principle

The collected electric pulses are amplified and then compared with the channel voltage
threshold corresponding to the size range of normal red blood cells/platelets, in order to
calculate the number of the pulses which amplitude are within the red blood cell/platelet
channel. Therefore, the collected electric pulses are classified according to the channel voltage
threshold. The numbers of the electric pulses within the red blood cell/platelet channel are the
numbers of the red blood cells/platelets. The size distribution of the cells is determined by the
numbers of the cells in each channel, which are classified according to the pulse voltage
amplitude. The two-dimensional diagram, in which the horizontal axis represents the cell size
and the vertical axis represents the relative number of the cells, are the histogram that reflects
the distribution of the cell groups.

Time Measurement
The basis of time measurement is under certain vacuum pressure and with fixed aperture
dimension, the sample volume passes through the aperture within a certain period of time is
definite. Thus analysis results can be obtained by calculating sample volume from analysis
duration, dilution ratio, etc. And analysis accuracy can be ensured by controlling vacuum
generating process and monitoring real-time vacuum pressure and aperture voltage.
Monitor and determine clogging: by monitoring aperture and sample particle information,
relevant characteristic information is concluded, and the judgment is made in combination with
the threshold.

4.4. Calibration

4.4.1 Calibration Factor and Transfer Factor

The purpose of calibration is to obtain accurate blood analysis results.
The calibration method is multiplying the result by the calibration factor, so that the final
analysis result is close to the target. The calculation equation of the calibration factor is:

4-5
 Software and Interface

There are two different analysis modes, CBC+DIFF and CBC. The two analysis modes
respectively correspond to two fluidics sequence. Therefore, the analysis results of the same sample in
different modes are different. However, this difference is relatively fixed. During calibration, it is
only required to obtain the calibration factor of one mode. The calibration factor of the other mode
can be calculated by multiplying this fixed difference coefficient, which is called the transfer factor.
The calculation equation of the transfer factor is:

There are two different sample modes, whole blood mode and prediluted mode, which also
correspond to different fluidics sequence. Therefore, different sample modes need to be calibrated
separately.
The calibration factors can be classified as factory calibration factor and user calibration factor.
For the CBC+DIFF mode, the analysis result will be calculated by the following equation:

Analysis result=measurement value × factory calibration factor × user calibration factor

For the CBC mode, the analysis result will be calculated by the following equation:
Analysis result=measurement value × factory calibration factor × transfer factor × user
calibration factor
The calibration will only generates calibration factors and transfer factors of five traceable
parameters: WBC, RBC, HGB, MCV and PLT.

If login with service level password, the calibration will modify the factory
calibration factor and transfer factor, and will modify the user calibration factor to
100.00%.

 Software and Interface

4.4.2 Calibration

The service level calibration with calibrators will generate the factory calibration factor and
transfer factor at a time. The first 6 counts are performed in CBC+DIFF mode, and the last 6 counts
are performed in CBC mode. After all the 12 counts are completed, the new calibration factor and
transfer factor will be automatically calculated. The operator will be prompted to save the calibration
factor when exiting this screen.
Before the calibration, be sure to set up the Calibrator Lot No., the Calibrator Exp. Date,
Analysis Mode and Calibration Targets.
The range of Calibration factor is [75%, 125%]. .

Please use specified calibrators for calibration before their expiration date.

If the calibration factor and CV are beyond the above range, they will be displayed in
red, and the current result will not be saved.

4.5. Sample Probe Debug

The purpose of sample probe debug is to check if the probe can move to each working position
properly.

initialization is completed before start the sample probe debug. For detailed information, please refer
to Section 12.1 “Mechanical position debug” in Chapter 12.

4.6. Temperature Calibration

The purpose of temperature calibration is to minimize the difference between the measurement
and the actual temperature in order to ensure the accuracy of sample analysis.

4-8
 Software and Interface

Figure 4-8 Temperature calibration screen

There are four quantities in this screen: total difference, new difference, machine measurement
value and meter measurement value. This screen does not include one quantity: the actual
measurement value, which is the actual temperature measured by the temperature sensor. These
quantities satisfy the following equation:
New difference = Meter measurement value – Actual measurement value
After clicking “Save”, the new difference is assigned to the total difference: Total difference =
New difference
Machine measurement value = Actual measurement value + Total difference

4.7. Gain Calibration

Gain calibration includes gain calibration of the optical channel, the impedance channel and
HGB. The purpose of optical channel gain calibration is to ensure the accuracy of the algorithm
categorization, and the purpose of impedance channel and HGB gain calibration is to ensure accurate
values of MCV and HGB to be calculated.

4-9
 Software and Interface

Figure 4-9 Gain calibration screen

The optical gain, MCV gain and HGB gain can be calibrated simultaneously in the Gain
Calibration screen. As a software gain, the optical gain can be calibrated by mean method. Selecting
the “Select” box of the single count to involve this count in the mean calculation. As hardware gains,
the MCV gain and the HGB gain can be calibrated by successive approximation, and the “Select” box
has no effect on the results of the MCV gain and HGB gain.
Whether the gain calibration is successful is marked by color. Unsuccessful calibration result
will be displayed in red, which means a recalibration is necessary.
If a target has not been set up, then the corresponding gain factor will not be calibrated, as
G.S. MCV in the figure above.
Note: The G.S. MCV target is not the same as MCV calibration target, they are not the
same value.
When exiting the Gain Calibration screen, the operator will be prompted whether to save the
gain factor.

Only calibration with calibrators is supported in the Gain Calibration screen.

Please use specified calibrators for gain calibration before their expiration date.

4-10
 Software and Interface

For the targets, please refer to the calibrator target sheet.

4.8. Gain Setting

The optical gain, MCV gain and HGB gain can be set up in the Gain Setting screen. The purpose
of gain setting and gain calibration is the same. Gain setting can be considered as manual gain
calibration.

Figure 4-10 Gain Setting screen

The optical gain is a software gain and shall be filled with the gain factor, which can be
calculated by the following equation:

The gain factor is a percentage value. The Gain Setting screen allows the gain factor to be set as
accurate to two decimal places.
The MCV gain and HGB gain are software gains, which require the digital potentiometer to be
set. The range of gain setting is [0, 255].
The MCV gain setting can be calculated by the following equation:

4-11
 Software and Interface

The HGB gain setting does not need to be calculated by an equation. Just modify the
setting until the background voltage is equal to 4.2V. Tap the "Auto Cal. to 4.2V" button, and the
HGB blank voltage will be set to 4.2V automatically.

The gain settings will have effect on the affectivity of the measurement. Please be
careful with the setting.

While the analyzer is in standby, the HGB voltage will not reflect the background
voltage. In this event, the operator must exit the standby mode before adjusting the HGB
gain.

4.9. Gain Verification

After gain calibration or gain setup, you need to verify the gain values to see if they are
appropriate. The two methods introduced below both need to use fresh blood samples which
have normal counting results and differential results.

 6 Optical System

6.1. Introduction to the Principles of Optical System

6.1.1 Operation Principles

The basic principle of optical system is the employment of flow cytometry-based laser scattering
method. As shown in Figure 6-1, wrapped in the diluent sheath, the processed and diluted blood
forms a sample stream carrying cells. This sample stream becomes very thin due to the focusing
effect of the sheath, forcing the cells to flow one by one through the center of the chamber with a
certain space between each other. Elongated elliptical Gaussian beam goes through the optical zone of
the flow cell, irradiates individual cells to generate scattered light, which is received by the detector
and transformed into photoelectric signals necessary for cell counting and categorizing.

Figure 6-1 Laser scatter principle

Since the sample stream has a certain width, different cells will pass the beam zone at slightly
different positions. In order to ensure the consistency of cell scatter signals, the Gaussian beam shall
has a certain width in the direction perpendicular to the cell movement to minimize the density
variation of the beam coving the sample stream, as shown in Figure 6-1. Meanwhile, in order to
prevent the beam from radiating several cells at the same time, the beam shall be small enough in the
direction of the cell movement, just being able to cover the entire cell. Therefore, the beam used for
radiating the sample stream shall be an elongated elliptical beam.

6-1
 Optical System

6.1.2 Beam Path of the Optical system

As a component of the optical path, the optical zone of the flow cell is the zone that the laser
beam passes which are shown as follows:

Light source assembly: Beam shaping function component, which shapes the divergent elliptical
beam generated by the semiconductor laser to elongated beam and directs it into the flow cell.
Flow cell assembly: Both an optical component and a fluidic component. As the fluidic interface
of the optical system, it provides stable sample streams. The optical performance of this component is
also critical. Dirt, contamination or dust in the optical zone on the inside and outside surface of the
flow cell may have great impact on the performance of the optical system.
Scattering detection assembly: consists of aperture and photoelectric sensor. Used for collecting
the scattered light generated by the cells. There are three photoelectric sensors in the optical system
for collecting scattered light of three angle ranges, including Low Angle Scatter (LAS), Medium
Angle Scatter (MAS) and Wide Angle Scatter (WAS).

Figure 6-2 Optical path diagram of the optical system

The relative positional relationship between the three parts of the optical path is achieved by
precise commissioning and fastening with special instruments, and therefore is not field serviceable.

6.2. Physical Structure

6.2.1 Overall Structure

The overall structure of the optical system is shown in Figure 6-3. According to different
functions, the system can be divided into the following parts:

6.2.2 Light Source Assembly

The light source assembly is used for providing light source output and beam shaping for the
optical system, as shown in Figure 6-5. Both the removal of internal parts of the light source assembly
and the removal of the assembly from the substrate are forbidden. Generally, if the light source
assembly is determined to be faulty, the whole optical system shall be replaced.

Figure 6-5 Light source assembly

6.2.3 Flow Cell Assembly

The flow cell assembly is the fluidic interface of the optical system. The fluidics are turned into
stable sheath stream under the pressure of the shield fluid bath. After reaction, the cells are injected
by the sample syringe into the flow cell assembly and are wrapped by the sheath. Then the cells go
through the flow cell one by one for laser irradiation, as shown in Figure 6-6.

Both the removal of internal parts of the flow cell assembly and the removal of the assembly
from the substrate are forbidden. Generally, if the flow cell assembly is determined to be faulty, the
whole optical system shall be replaced.

6.2.4 Optical Substrate Assembly

The substrate assembly provides support, fixation and shock absorption for the optical system, as
shown in Figure 6-7. The screws in the substrate assembly is not removable. If loose screws result in
abnormal condition of the optical system, please replace the whole optical system.

Figure 6-7 Optical substrate assembly

6.2.5 Preamplifier and Shield Shell

The preamplifier and shield shell are used for pre-amplifying the optical system signals and
shielding signal noise. The preamplifier is connected by the preamplifier shield shell with the optical
system shield shell. If the preamplifier is determined to be faulty, it is possible to remove and replace
it from the optical system, as shown in Figure 6-8.

 Optical System

Figure 6-8 Preamplifier and shield shell

6.2.6 Shield Shell Assembly

The shield shell is used for isolating the optical system from the outside to avoid interference of
dust, stray light and electromagnetic noise, and for connecting the optical system to the analyzer, as
shown in Figure 6-9.

Figure 6-9 Shield shell assembly

6.2.7 Scattering Detection Assembly

As the detection unit of the optical system, the scattering detection assembly consists of
medium/small angle PD and large angle PD and corresponding medium/small angle aperture and

large angle aperture and support structure. The 3D model and physical view are shown in Figure 6-10.
The scattering assembly is a whole unit and cannot be removed from the optical substrate, although
the large angle PD assembly is removable. When the scattering detection assembly is determined to
be faulty, it is necessary to replace the whole optical system.

6.2.8 Laser Control Board

The laser control board is used for providing stable driving current for the laser to keep a full and
stable laser output power, as shown in Figure 6-11. If the laser control board is determined to be
faulty, it is possible to remove and replace it from the optical system.

6.3. Determining the Optical System Status

When abnormal sample scattergram causes failed or incorrect categorization, and the reagent and
fluidic connections are determined to be normal, it will be necessary to check the optical system
status. In this section, the optical system status is tested with standard particles. Prior to the test,
prepare the following items:
Consumables: 4k-07 Std. part. (7µm) and 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, Probe cleanser.
The detailed procedure is as follows.
1. First, add 0.5 mL of deionized water to a 1.5mL centrifuge tube. Shake the 7 μm std.

6-7
 Optical System

part. bottle until the solution is well mixed, then add 3 drops of the solution in to the
1.5mL centrifuge tube. Cap the tube and shake it until this solution becomes well
mixed, as shown in Figure 6-12.

Figure 6-12 Preparation of the 7µm std. part. solution

2. Select the Maintenance menu and enter the “Optical” screen. Perform counting with
the prepared std. part. solution. After the counting is completed, the result will be
automatically displayed in the screen, as shown in Figure 6-13.
3. Determine the optical system status by the parameter Particle 1 according to the
counting result. The optical system is OK if all the following requirements are met:
Parameter Total CG Position CV
LAS 38~45 ≤6.50
MAS 1500~3000 100~158 ≤3.00
WAS 100~200 ≤8.00
4. Generally, if the parameters fail to meet the requirements, it may be caused by a dirty
flow cell. The built-in maintenance program can be used to solve this problem. The
method is as follows: click the “Maintenance-->Maintenance” menu and select “Flow
Cell Cleaning” in the “Cleaning” screen. The machine will automatically complete the
cleaning operation (in about 1 minute).
After the maintenance, repeat step 2 and 3 and check if the result meets the requirements. If not,
probe cleanser should be used to clean the flow cell: click the “Maintenance-->Maintenance” menu
and select “Overall Soak” in the “Maintenance” screen, and carry out the operation of the program.
After the maintenance above, repeat step 2 and 3 again, and check if the result meets the requirements.
If still not, the manual maintenance is required. For details, please see the next chapter.

6.4. Maintenance and Replacement of the Optical

System
When the optical system is determined as abnormal according to Section 6.3, and cannot be
restored by automatic maintenance, then manual maintenance will be necessary. Furthermore, if the
optical system is determined as normal according to Section 6.3, but the scattergram or categorization
of the blood sample is abnormal, then other problems except the optical system shall be taken into
account.
Before performing maintenance and replacement on the optical system, prepare the following
items:
Tools: A crosshead screwdriver and an allen wrench set.
Consumables: 4k-07 Std. part. (7µm), 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, microfiber clean cloth,
dehydrated alcohol and probe cleanser.

6.4.1 Maintenance of the Optical System

Before maintenance of the optical system, it is necessary to open the top cover of the optical
system shield shell. As shown in Figure 14, use a crosshead screwdriver to remove the locking screw.
Open the top cover carefully to reveal the internal structure of the optical system, as shown in Figure

laser will illuminate automatically. Please note that the laser switch is linked with a microswitch.
Whenever the shield shell is opened during maintenance, the microswitch will be turned off, and thus
physically disconnect the laser. Under such circumstances, the laser cannot be restored by above
method; manually press the microswitch to restore the laser.

Figure 6-14 Location of the screws on the shield shell

Precautions before proceeding to the next step are as follows:

 Never look directly into the laser with eyes or through an optical instrument;
 During test of optical system with the top cover open, please shelter the optical system to
prevent bright environmental light from irradiating the detector inside the optical system.
Generally, the following steps can be followed to determine which part needs to be maintained.

1. Check if the wires are firmly connected inside the optical system and if the optical path is
blocked by wires.
2. Check if the output spot is normal. Place a small piece of white paper near the output exit
and observe the light spot. The ideal spot shape is a vertical ellipse which is clipped at both
top and bottom, as shown in the left in Figure 6-15. The actual spot is shown in the right in
Figure 6-15 with a faint halo around it.

6-10
 Optical System

Figure 6-15 Light spot at the output exit

Abnormal spots can be different, including dark spot, spot clustered into a dot, spot with dark
lines, spot with a scattered halo, seriously damaged spot, spot with multiple dark dots in the center, as
shown in Figure 6-16.

Figure 6-16 Example of abnormal output spots

Abnormal light spots are usually caused by damage or contamination of the laser control board,
the laser or the lens in the light source assembly.
Missing parts, dark lines or dark dots in the spot are usually caused by contaminated lens in the
light source assembly. A clean cloth dampened with dehydrated alcohol may be used to wipe the lens
gently, spiraling outward from the center. Be careful not to touch the interior of the lens barrel.
If the light spot disappears, darkens or diverges, then the laser control board may be damaged.
After the problem is determined, replace the laser control board (be aware of electrostatic) separately
and adjust the variable resistor on the board. Perform a std. part. test in accordance with 6.3 to ensure
the std. part. indicators to meet the requirements. After replacement, a gain calibration in accordance
with Section 4.6 as well as a calibration in accordance with Section 4.3 shall be performed on the
optical system.

6-11
 Optical System

If the light spot disappears, converges, darkens or diverges, and the laser control board is
determined to be in good condition, then the laser could have been burned. Since the light source
assembly cannot be replaced separately, it will be necessary to replace the optical system.

3. Observe the light spots on the surface and inside the flow cell from the following angles, as
shown in Figure 6-17. If the exterior of the flow cell is very bright, then the exterior may be
stained. Use a clean cloth dampened with dehydrated alcohol to wipe the exterior, until the
bright part darkens or disappears, as shown in the right in Figure 6-17. If the interior of the
flow cell is very bright and cannot be darkened by the built-in cleaning procedure, then it
will be necessary to manually rinse the inside of the flow cell.

Figure 6-17 Flow cell before and after cleansing

The cleansing procedure is as follows: Prepare a syringe with a 100 mm long Teflon
tube, a 200 mm long Teflon tube and probe cleanser, as shown in Figure 6-18. Shutdown
the analyzer, remove the tubes at the waste outlet and the sheath inlet of the flow cell.
Connect the syringe to the waste outlet. Connect one end of the other Teflon tube to the
sheath inlet, and put another end into the probe cleanser. Draw the probe cleanser with the
syringe until the probe cleanser enters the syringe. At this time, the flow cell will be filled
with the probe cleanser. After soaking for about 10 minutes, use clean water instead of the
cleanser. Draw the syringe forcefully for 2 to 3 times, until the bright spots in the flow cell
darken or disappear.
Connect the optical path and the tubes and verify the connection, and then turn on the
analyzer power.

 Optical System

Figure 6-18 Preparation before cleaning the flow cell interior

4. Check if the output light is perpendicular to the flow cell. Place an inner hexagon spanner
at the output exit. The output spot and the spot reflected by the flow cell shall appear
simultaneously and strictly coincide with each other, as shown in Figure 6-19.

Figure 6-19 Output spot and reflection spot

After the maintenance is completed, verify if the optical system is working correctly in
accordance with the steps in Section 6.3:

 If the std. part. CV meets the requirement, but the CG position is too low or too high,
slightly adjust the variable resistor on the laser control board as shown in Figure 6-11, until
the CG position meets the requirement. After maintenance according to this procedure, a
gain calibration in accordance with Section 4.6shall be performed on the optical system.
 If the CG position meets the requirement but the CV doesn't, then the maintenance is not
qualified. Perform another check and maintenance in accordance with this section.
 If the CG position and the CV cannot meet the requirements after the maintenance, then it
will be necessary to replace the optical system.

6.4.2 Replacement of the Optical System

If the problem is not solved after maintenance, or if the problem is not serviceable, then it is
necessary to replace the optical system with a new one. The replacement procedure is as follows:

Figure 6-20 Remove the optical system

1. Perform the “prepare to ship” procedure and shutdown the analyzer; and then remove the
optical system carefully and short the tubes of the optical system in accordance with Figure
6-21.

Figure 6-21 Short the tubes of the optical system together

2. Install the new optical system into the analyzer. Connect the signal wires, fluidics. Turn on
the analyzer and verify the status of the new system in accordance with the steps in Section
6.3.
Note: The fluidic interfaces of the optical system are very fragile. Be careful to avoid

6-14

7.5. Introduction to Fluidic Parts

A brief introduction to the fluidic parts and their respective functions is provided in this
section. The symbols mentioned below refer to the symbols in the fluidics diagram.

7.5.1 Mindray Valves

Symbol:
2-way valve 3-way valve

Appearance:
2-way valve 3-way valve

Spring pole

Function:
2-way valve: to build up or cut off a passage. When power off, the passage from
the inlet of the valve to outlet is cut off; when power on, the passage is built up.
3-way valve: to switch among passages. When power off, the public end and the
NO (normally open) end are connected; when power on, the public end and the
NO(normally open) end are connected.

Note: the operating voltage of Mindray valves is 12V, and maximal bearable pressure
is 200KPa. The internal movement of the valves is driven by electromagnet and the
restoration is driven by the spring, so it is recommended not put the valves power-on
for too long. When the electromagnet valve is working, the spring pole will lower
down, and it will rise to the initial position when power off. You can touch the spring
pole and feel the descending or ascending, in order to determine whether it is in
action.

Mindray valve.

Note: When replacing the valves, please note the distinction between regular 2-way
valves and pressure-proof valves. SV03 in Liquid Flow Diagram is a 2-way
pressure-proof valve.

7.5.3 LVM Fluidic Valve

Symbol
Same as the Mindray valves.

Appearance

7.6. Detailed Introduction of Fluidic Structure

The fluidic structure diagram is shown as follows:
Please refer to Appendix A.

7-14
 Fluidics

7.6.1 Sampling and dispensing channel

The structure of sampling and dispensing channel is shown below:

Main function:
1. Aspirate and dispense samples. Aspirate 15 μL of blood sample by conjunctive use of
small volume syringe of the syringe linkage (SR) and the sample probe (SPB), and
dispense the blood sample.
2. Clean the interior and exterior of the sample probe. The interior is cleaned by the
collaboration of the large volume syringe of the syringe linkage and SV03 and 11 valves.
The exterior is cleaned by the diluent which is forced by the large volume syringe
through SV08, SV07, secondary RBC bath and SV09 into the wipe, with waste fluid
recovered by probe wipe, vacuum chamber and waste pump.
3. Aspirate and dispense probe cleanser. During the aspiration, the SV03 is energized.
2mL of probe cleanser will be aspirated by the SR from the SPB and stored mainly in the
cleanser tanks (T7 and T8). During the dispensation, the SPB is transported by the
sampling assembly to the RBC bath and WBC bath, and the SV03 is kept energized. A
certain volume of probe cleanser in the SPB will be dispensed by the SR to the reaction
baths.

7.6.2 WBC&HGB Channel

Part of the fluidic structure is shown as follows:
The blue lines are diluent flows; red lines are DIFF lyse flows; green lines are LH lyse flows;
orange lines are sample flows; purple lines are waste fluid flows. Similarly hereinafter.

7-15
 Fluidics

DIFF measurement
As the background solution,the diluent flows through the large volume syring, SV03, SV11
and PV18 into the WBC bath. After the blood sample is dispensed by the sample probe to the
WBC bath, the DIFF lyse is added by the electromagnetic metering pump (DP1) through the
SV01 and the preheat bath. The diluent is forced by the SR through SV06, T13 and T14 into the
isolation chamber 1, generating bubbles which mix the sample fluid in the WBC bath. The
sample is then supplied along the illustrated orange lines to the bottom end of the flow cell. A
sheath flow is generated by the large volume syringe along the illustrated blue lines, and the
sample is forced by the small volume syringe into the flow cell for measurement to obtain the
differential results of the white blood cells. After the measurement, use the sheath to clean the
flow cell and the sample probe. Force the diluent through the SV03, SV11, C11, T35, SV14 and
T36 into the isolation chamber 2 to clean the sample supply tube.

BASO measurement & WBC count

After DIFF sample enters the sample supply tube, the LH lyse is added by the
electromagnetic metering pump DP2 through SV02 to the WBC bath. The diluent is forced by
the SR through SV06, T13 and T14 into the isolation chamber 1, generating bubbles which mix
the sample fluid in the WBC bath. After the DIFF sample measurement is completed and the
sample supply tube is cleaned, the BASO sample is supplied along the illustrated orange lines to
the bottom end of the flow cell. A sheath flow is generated by the large volume syringe along
the illustrated blue lines, and the sample is forced by the small volume syringe into the flow cell

7-16
 Fluidics

for measurement to obtain BASO differential result and WBC count. After the measurement, use
the sheath to clean the flow cell and the sample probe. Force the diluent through the SV03,
SV11 and PV18 into the WBC bath to clean the sample supply tube and the WBC bath. During
the cleaning process, part of the diluent flow away through C11, T35, SV14 and T36 to clean the
3-way connector C11. Finally, the WBC bath is drained by SV15, vacuum chamber (VC) and
waste pump.

HGB Count
The measurement principle of HGB channel is the colorimetric method, which obtains HGB
concentration by comparing the transmitted light intensity between background and blood. The
transmitted light intensity of the pure diluent in the WBC bath is measured at the beginning of
the count. The transmitted light intensity of the diluent with blood is measured after the BASO
reaction is completed (before preparation of the BASO sample). The HGB value can be
calculated by comparing the above two values.

7.6.3 RBC/PLT Channel

Part of the fluidic structure is shown as follows:

7-17
 Fluidics

The diluent is added by the SR along the blue line (T3, T18, SV05, T21) to the RBC
bath. The diluted blood sample is dispensed by the sample probe to the RBC bath, and
then is mixed by the bubbles generated when waste cleaning fluid (for cleaning the
DIFF sample fluid in the sample supply tube) enters the isolation chamber 2 through
SV14 and T36. The sample is aspirated by the negative pressure in the vacuum
chamber into the secondary bath (orange lines in the illustration). The cells will be
measured while passing through the aperture. The sample volume is calculated from
the count duration. After the measurement, the RBC bath is drained by the waste
pump, the vacuum chamber and the SV13. In order to clean the secondary bath, the
diluent is forced by the syringe through SV07, T51 and T52 into the secondary bath,
then through T43 and SV09 into the probe wipe, and drained by the waste pump.

7.6.4 Precautions for Assembly and Service

Precautions for installation of sampling assembly

5 position near the end of the Teflon tube, and leave 3-5 mm of Telfon tube aside.
When connecting hoses with connectors, valve ports or dosing tubes on the
6 reaction bath, the end of the hose shall be fully inserted beyond the barbs.
7 It is not necessary to over tighten the straps for fastening the tubes.
For T-adapters, the side ports and the middle port shall be treated differently. Please
8 assemble in strictly accordance with the illustration.
There are strict tolerance requirements for lengths of the following tubes: T4 and
T33: ±1 mm, T63: ±2 mm， T7, T8: ±3 mm.
9 Tolerances for the other tubes: for length less than 50 mm, the tolerance is ±1 mm;
for length between 50 and 400 mm, the tolerance is ±2 mm; for length more than
400 mm, the tolerance is ±5 mm.
When connecting or replacing tubes on the analyzer, never use any blades or other
10 sharp tools.
11 Never scald any hose with hot water.
Before or after assembly or maintenance, keep all the hoses, connectors or fluidic
components intact and in good condition without any scratches, deformation or
12 distortion.
Thick 50 tubes cannot be used again after disconnected from valve ports or
13 connectors
14 Cut T75 and case it between T34 and C11
15 Assemble the check valves so that the bigger end is connected to the preheat bath
Assemble the filters in the right direction so that the words 43 μm is shown from
16 top to bottom

Notes in High Hydraulic Pressure Tubing Assembly and Service

During the analysis process of the instrument, the tubes of the sheath fluid channel bear
pressure about 0.2Mpa. While assembling or servicing these tubes, make sure they are
securely inserted and connected (inserted to then end when connected to connectors or
valves; inserted to the depth of at least 13mm when connected to another tube; fix with a
plastic cable tie when connected to narrow teflon tube).

The tubes bearing high hydraulic pressure are marked in red in the figure below.

7.7.2 Measurement sequence in PD-CBC+DIFF mode

Measurement sequence in PD-CBC+DIFF mode is basically the same with the sequence in
WB-CBC+DIFF mode, except that:
1. Because the blood sample has been prediluted outside the analyzer, 200 μL of blood is
aspirated in the PD mode.

7.7.3 Measurement sequence in CBC mode

Compared with the sequence in CBC+DIFF mode, the measurement sequence in CBC mode
is basically the same except that it does not include the fluidic actions of DIFF and optical

7-33
 Fluidics

channels. The main differences are as follows:

1. Sample volume. The sample volume is 15 μL in the WB-CBC+DIFF mode, 11.7 μL in the
WB-CBC mode. The sample volume is the same between the PD-CBC+DIFF mode and
PD-CBC mode.
2. There is no action related to DIFF measurement, including addition of DIFF reagent,
preparation of DIFF samples, DIFF measurement, and cleaning process of the tubes and
the flow cell after the DIFF measurement.

7.7.4 Introduction to the Maintenance Sequences

Probe cleanser maintenance (shutdown sequence)
The locations soaked by the probe cleanser are shown below.
The orange lines are the locations soaked by the probe cleanser, and the blue lines are the
locations passed by the probe cleanser.
An enhanced probe cleanser maintenance sequence will be called every 300 times of
sample measurement. The main difference between the enhanced and the regular probe
cleanser maintenance sequence is the soaking time. The soaking time of enhanced maintenance
is 6.67 minutes longer than regular maintenance.
In the Maintenance screen, the probe cleanser maintenance is defaulted as enhanced probe
cleanser maintenance.

Startup cleaning
The fluidic actions on startup can be divided into three procedures:
1. Initialization of fluidics components: initialization of sampling assembly and syringe
assembly; 1 metering pump action (without consumption of reagents); creating vacuum and
releasing vacuum.
2. Cleanup: including cleaning of all the tubes and components on the analyzer; removing
bubbles from the flow cell; discarding 1 ml of DIFF reagent and 0.2 ml of LH reagent.
3. Background: WB-CBC+DIFF measurement
If the background fails, perform the cleanup again and measure the background.
For startup after an abnormal shutdown, perform the cleanup twice.
Standby
The instrument will enter standby status after idling for 15 to 30 minutes (defaulted as 15
minutes). After entering standby status, operations without fluidic actions can be performed
from the screen.
Exit standby status 1: Standby for less than 1 hour.
Clean the exterior of the sample probe and the WBC bath and rebuild the
isolation bubble without consumption of lyse.
Exit standby status 2: Standby for more than 1 hour and less than 5 hour.
Clean the interior and exterior of the sample probe, the WBC bath, the RBC bath, the
sample supply tube and the flow cell, and rebuild the isolation bubble without consumption of
lyse.
Exit standby status 3: Standby for not less than 5 hour.
The same as cleanup on startup, including cleaning of all the tubes and components on the
analyzer; removing bubbles from the flow cell; discarding 3 ml of DIFF reagent to eliminate the
effects of bubbles in the preheat bath tube; discarding 0.2 ml of LH reagent to eliminate the
effects of crystal and bubbles at the inlet.

8.2. Digital Control Board

8.2.1 Overview
The digital control board consists mainly of a digital part and an analog part. The analog part
implements mainly the A/D conversion of analog signals into digital signals, such as optical channel
and monitoring voltage. As the essential part of the digital control board and the whole hardware
system, the digital part implements data processing, output, control and communication.
Section 8.2 of this manual is the guideline for service and troubleshooting of the control board.

8.2.2 Components
The block diagram of the control board is shown in Figure 8-6. The control board consists mainly
of digital circuit, plus part of the ADC circuit which implements the A/D conversion. The digital circuit
module implements data processing, result saving and output. As the essential part of the digital control
board and the whole hardware system, the digital circuit is also responsible for control and
communication. The ADC circuit is mainly responsible for digitizing WBC, RBC/PLT, optical signals
and all kinds of analog monitoring signals with an A/D converter.
The control part of the control board employs the “CPU+FPGA” structure to achieve the
following main functions:

 A/D conversion
 Data processing

 Hardware System

Figure 8-6 Block diagram of the control board

Description

 A/D conversion
Converts the analog signals to digital signals which can be processed by FPGA or CPU.

 Data processing
The digital signals obtained by FPGA from A/D samples are digitally filtered to save
the particle parameters. The data then is transmitted to CPU by interruption or other methods
for further processing. After processing, the results will be shown on the LCD.

 Peripheral interface implementation

The CPU module provides a platform for system software, interfaces for peripherals
including indicator board, LCD, Ethernet, USB printer, USB barcode scanner, keyboard and
USB drive, etc., the JTAG interface for online programming the FPGA configuration chip,
and the CPU debug interface.

8.3. Analog Drive Board

8.3.1 Overview
The functions of analog drive board includes measuring and amplifying the signals from the RBC
channel, the HGB channel and the optical channel, and outputting them to external boards; responding
commands of the control board; controlling mechanical components (such as motor drive assembly)
and fluidics components (such as valves and pumps); detecting component position when controlling
mechanical components (through the photocoupler); detecting pressure when controlling fluidics
components (such as pumps); reporting necessary information (temperature, voltage, etc.) to the control
board.

8.3.2 Components
The analog drive board can be divided by modules into four modules: power module, master

8.5. Optical Boards

8.5.1 Optical Path and Optical System Workflow

Figure 8-13 shows the schematic diagram of the optical path. The laser is a semiconductor laser
with wavelength of 670 nm. The laser irradiates the cells in the flow cell, which generate scattered light.
This scattered light intensity is measured by photodiode (PD) from various angles. The measurement
signal is then modulated, amplified, and transmitted to analog drive board for further processing. The

8-28
 Hardware System

scatter measured by the photodiode can be divided into three angles: low angle scatter, medium angle
scatter and high angle scatter. The type and size of the cell can then be determined by the distribution
of scatter intensity on these angles.

Figure 8-14 Electrical connection diagram of the optical system

Figure 8-14 shows the electrical connection diagram of the optical system. The analog
drive board controls the laser. When the PDs detect the light signal, they will transmit current
signals through the signal wire to the preamplifier. After I/V conversion, modulation and
amplification, the signals will be transmitted through the signal wire to the analog drive board for
further processing. A protective microswitch is connected between the analog drive board and
the laser analog board. When the optical system housing is opened, the microswitch will be
turned off, and the laser will stop working. Therefore, in order to test the laser, press the
microswitch manually to connect the electrical circuit (make sure the wire is connected to the “C”
pin and “ON” pin of the microswitch).

8.5.2 Functions of Optical Boards

SF PD board and FS/SS PD board
The SF PD board and FS/SS PD board are mainly used for photoelectric conversion, which
converts the light irradiated on the PD to electrical current and transmits the current signal to the
preamplifier for further processing.

Preamplifier
Overview

The preamplifier is mainly used for photoelectric conversion and amplification of the three
scatters from the flow cell (forward scatter (FS, also called low angle signal), side medium angle
scatter (SS, also called medium angle signal) and side high angle scatter (SF, also called large angle
signal)). The FS/SS preamplifier and the SF preamplifier share a common PCB, and achieve the
required amplification through welded resistors.

8-29
 Hardware System

Note: LAS and FS refer to low angle signal, MAS and SS refer to medium angle signal, and WAS
and SF refer to large angle signal, unless otherwise noted. Corresponding abbreviations refer to the
same objects.

Function
The function of the preamplifier includes power modulation, I/V conversion and signal
modulation.
Power modulation: filters the -12V power supplied by the analog board. The filtered ripples
will be less than 50 mV.
Signal modulation: converts the current signals to voltage signals by I/V. The signals are then
sent to the amplification unit and processed to meet the input requirements of the analog drive
board.

Figure 8-15 Functional block diagram of the preamplifier

Laser Control Board

Overview
The laser control board controls the laser to provide stable and moderate-intensity laser.

Function
The functions of the laser control board include power modulation, laser driving current
monitoring and laser power control.
Power modulation: filters the ±12V power supplied by the analog board. The filtered ripples
will be less than 100mV.
Laser driving current monitoring: measures the electrical current of the laser and send the
results to the analog board for monitoring.

Laser power control: the laser is controlled by a constant power control method. The laser

8-30
 Hardware System

output power is monitored in real time by a photo detector inside the laser. The result forms a
loop system by negative feedback to achieve constant output power. The power is controlled
within the range of 3 mW~5 mW by adjusting the potentiometer VR1 on the board.

Figure 8-16 Functional block diagram of the laser control board

Adjusting laser driving current: when a laser overcurrent problem is reported, it is usually
necessary to adjust the adjustable potentiometer VR1 on the laser analog board to adjust the laser
current. when adjusting, observe the laser current changes in the “Voltage and Current” screen in the
Analyzer Status screen. If the current does not change and is not zero when VR1 is being adjusted, then
either the laser analog board or the laser fails. Otherwise the problem may be caused by wire failure,
and it is required to check the wires before adjustment. It is also necessary to adjust the current after
replacing the laser analog board to keep the current within the acceptance. The adjusting method is the
same with above.

4. If all the above problems are excluded,
replace the preamplifier and check if the problem
is solved. If the problem persists, replace the
optical system.
Note: there is a linkage between the laser switch and the micro-switch, in which case, once the
shielding box is opened, the micro-switch will cut off the laser source no matter how the software
works. In the service process, you may need to press the micro-switch to switch on the laser when the
shielding box is open.

 9 Heating System
9.1. Heating System Overview
The heating system consists of diluent heating system and optical heating system. The
diluent heating system provides the best temperature range for the RBC bath and the WBC bath.
The optical heating system provides the temperature range for normal operation of the optical
instruments.
The diluent heating system consists of temperature detection assembly and preheat
assembly. A diluent sensor and a preheat sensor work together to detect and control the
heating temperature of the preheat assembly.
The optical heating system consists of power assembly and fan assembly. The optical
system is heated by the heat generated by the power board. When the optical system
temperature exceeds a specified limit, a temperature sensor inside the Optical System will start
the fan assembly, which draws heat from the bottom of the power assembly and controls the
temperature of the Optical System.
The temperature ranges of each detection point are listed below:

 Mechanical System

Stop the blood tests. Adjust the sample probe to the horizontal sampling position. Shut
down the analyzer and disconnect all the connections with accessories and peripherals.

Disconnect the external power supply.

 All the analyzer components and surfaces are potentially infectious. Take proper
protective measures for operation and maintenance.

 The reagents are irritating to eyes, skin and diaphragm. Wear proper personal protective equipment (e.g.
gloves, lab coat, etc.) and follow safe laboratory procedures when handling them in the laboratory.
 If the reagents accidentally spill on your skin, wash them off with plenty of water and if necessary, go see a
doctor; if the reagents accidentally spill into your eyes, wash them off with plenty of water and
immediately go see a doctor.
 Please eliminate static electricity before disassembly. While removing the components with electrostatic
sensitive mark, please wear protective equipment such like an antistatic wrist strap or antistatic gloves
to avoid ESD damage to the components.
 During reassembly, please connect the wires correctly and keep them in proper positions to avoid short
circuit caused by damaged wires.
 Use screws of suitable models during reinstallation. Using wrong screws may result in equipment damage.
Furthermore, during usage after reinstallation, a wrong screw may become loose and fall off, resulting
in unexpected product damage or personal injury.
 Please disassemble the equipment in the correct order. Failure to do so may result in irreversible damage
to the equipment.
 Please make sure all connections have been disconnected before disassembling the components. Be careful
not to break the wires or the connectors during disassembly.
 Please store the removed screws and other parts in separate places for reinstallation purpose. Be careful
not to drop, contaminate or lose these parts.
 During disassembly, separate the materials by module to avoid misusing or missing materials during
reassembly.
 During reassembly, please assemble first the components then the main unit. Be careful with the wire
connections. Place the wires in proper position.
