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.
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
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.
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
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.

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:
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%.

6 Optical System
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
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).

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.

Optical System
Tap "Status" > "Voltage&Current" in the menu to enter the Voltage&Current screen, the
laser will illuminate automatically.
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
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.
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 can not 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 can not be darkened by the built-in cleaning procedure, then it
will be necessary to manually rinse the inside of the flow cell.
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.
6-12
Optical System
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.
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 4.6 as well as a calibration in accordance with
Section 4.3 shall 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 can not meet the requirements after the maintenance, then it
will be necessary to replace the optical system.
6-13

3. Remove the optical system carefully and short the tubes of the optical system in accordance
with Figure 6-21.

4. Install the new optical system into the analyzer. Connect the signal wires, fluidics and
optical path. 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
knocking them when connecting the tubes during installation!

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 build 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
N.O.(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.

Fluidics
Function: Compared with regular 2-way Mindray valve, the 2-way Mindray
pressure-proof valve can endure higher reverse pressure. The operation principle of
the 2-way Mindray pressure-proof valve is the same with that of regular 2-way
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.
Function: Same as the Mindray valves. Compared with 2-way Mindray valves, this
valve provides higher pressure resistance and smaller pump volume for preciser flow
control and broader range of temperature and pressure.
Note: the maximal bearable pressure of the LVM fluidic valve is 200KPa, and the CV of
the flow is about 0.03. SV11 in the fluidics diagram is a LVM fluidic valve.

Fluidics
Main function:
1. Aspirate and dispense samples. Aspirate 15 L 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.
7-15
Fluidics
DIFF measurement
As the background solution, the diluent flows through the large volume syring, SV03, SV11,
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.

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.
7-17
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.

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.

Before troubleshooting driver related problems, check whether there is any loose connecting wire
or unreliable connection on the analog drive board, and whether the bit numbers on the wires are
matching the bit numbers on the analog drive board sockets; whether there is any broken or damaged
wire.
When analog drive board failure is suspected, verify whether the indicators on the analog board
are normal in accordance with the table below.
After all the indicators is verified to be normal, verify the MCU and FPGA from the software
interface (click Menu click Status Version information). If all the versions are correct,
troubleshoot the problem according to the problem types listed in (2).

Make sure the power assembly is firmly connected by screws with the main unit.
Only perform these removal procedures after the power board and the surroundings
are cooled down.
8.4.3 Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting procedures for the power board are shown below.
8-27
Hardware System
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
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.
8-28
Hardware 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).
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.
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.
8-29
Hardware System
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.
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
output power is monitored in real time by a photodetector 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.
8-30
Hardware System
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.
