Procedure Wiener lab. Col 1 is a compact one-channel analyzer whose principle of measurement is Turbodensitometry. When the starter reagent is added, and as the clot is formed, the passage of light begins to decrease. A small steel cylinder is magnetically stirred inside the cuvette in order to keep the particulate reagents in suspension. At a certain level, the reaction stops and the instrument informs and prints the obtained values. The different functions are selected on the liquid crystal screen. The instrument is also provided with a standard RS 232 output port. The reagents and samples block, heated through Peltier system, contains 1 measuring cell with a magnetic mixing motor, one reagent position and 4 positions for reaction cuvettes.
