Fluid Detectors
The five fluid detectors in the base model sense the presence, type,
and continuity of fluids in the system. Fluid detectors 1, 1A, and 2 are associated
with the measurement block. These detectors ensure that the sample is positioned
correctly for accurate measurement. Detectors 3 and 4, located in the reagent
manifold, sense the presence of the reagents in the system. The CO-ox module
adds fluid detector 5 to the system. This detector and the CO-ox sample chamber
sense the presence of a sample in the CO-ox module.
Waste
The waste components include the waste bottle and latch, the waste outlets, the
waste outlet cover, and the waste detector. The waste components accept waste
reagents and sample pumped from the fluidic components. The waste detector
detects the presence of the waste bottle and also detects when the bottle is full.
