2.4 Functional DescriptionThe Clinical Chemistry Analyser “HumaStar 180” comprises the following main
functional units:
- Process Management
- Liquid Handling
- Carousels
- Temperature control
- Cooling (optional)
- Measurement System
- DETect Software package
The following explains the functions of all these units, as well as their
interference within eachother.
2.4.1 PROCESS MANAGEMENT
The working principal of HumaStar 180 is based on a
modular system, which is controlled by a PC via the Process Manager (inbuilt in
HumaStar 180).
HumaStar 180 | Service manual
14
Each module is fitted with it’s own “intelligence” and functions as a slave to the Process
Manager. The process manager is connected to a PC via RS 232 and receives his orders from DETect
Software package running on the PC. When a process is started on DETect (e.g.: testing a sample
for certain paramters), DETect cuts the complete process into the required steps:
- Washing the probes
- Pipetting the reagent(s)
- Pipetting the sample
- Mixing
- Incubating
- Reading
These process steps are sent to the process manager in the instrument, one at a time, exactly
whenappropriate. The process manager himself distributes the necessary commands to the
modules. The modules “fulfill the order” and report back to the process manager, which himself
provides DETect with the actual status accordingly.
2.4.2 LIQUID HANDLING
The functional unit “Liquid Handling” consists of two independent Liquid paths, one for Sample
pipetting and one for Reagent pipetting. All involved electrical components such as drive motors,
valves and syringes are connected to and controlled by the central Process Manager.

4 Syringe Pump & Syringe 9 Primary Sample Tube 14 Waste Bottle
5 Syringe Pump Drive 10 Serum Cups
Both liquid paths are built up identical, with the only difference of the size of the
syringes and the probes:
Syringe: 1ml for Reagent path
250 μl for Sample path
Probe: 0.5 mm inner diameter for Reagent path
0.4 mm inner diameter for Sample path
X- and Z – movement are realised by the pipetting arm, which holds the
probes and the probes drives, together with all necessary motors, sensors and
electronics.
2.4.2.1 Pipetting cycle
The system is able to pippete reagents in either single- or multi pipetting mode.
Multipipetting mode means that, a multiple of the required reagent volume per
test of one reagent will be aspirated and then be distributed into the different
target containers (cuvettes) accordingly.
A complete pipetting cycle incorporates the following steps:
Single Pipetting (Sample or Reagent)
Wash probe
- move probe in Z direction into wash station
- flush with System liquid for a pre-defined time span
- lift probe in Z direction to top position
Pick up source liquid
- move probe in X direction to source container (reagent container, sample
tube or serum cup)
- move probe in Z direction into source container until liquid is detected
- aspirate the required test volume (driven by syringe pumps)
- lift probe in Z direction to top position

2.4.3 CAROUSELS, TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND COOLING
HumaStar 180 is using two Carousels, the Inner and the Outer Carousel. Both
carousels are directly connected to and controlled by the central Process
Manager.
- The INNER Carousel for carrying Samples, Reagents, Standards,
Calibrators and Controls. The inner carousel can optionally be cooled. This
option comprises an external cooling unit and cooled liquid is circulated
underneath the inner carousel.
- The OUTER Carousel for carrying the disposable Cuvettes. The outer carousel
is temperature controlled to 37° C (standard).

Cat number 16900/1
2.4.3.3 Functions of the Carousels
Temperature control of Outer Carousel
The temperature control of the outer carousel is effected by thermo resistors,
connected to an electronic regulating circuit. Together with temperature
sensitive sensors connected to the same regulating circuit, a stable temperature
is provided to the cuvettes throughout the whole test run.

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION 19
Cooling Option of Inner Carousel
The cooling of the inner carousel is effected by cooled water circulating un-
derneath the inner carousel, within a closed spiral copper tube. This copper
tube is connected to an external cooling generator, the system is closed and
independent from a tap water connection.
Insulation
In order to prevent temperature – interferences between the (optionally) cooled
inner and the temp. controlled outer carousel, an insulation ring is dividing the
two carousels.
Rotation
Both Carousels are controlled and rotated independently, within a co-axial
mechanical system.
Besides keeping samples, reagents and test containers in stable temperature
environment, actually the main function of the carousels is to provide the
Y – movement of the source and target containers within the pipetting and
measuring system of HumaStar 180.
The carousels are rotated while other processes within the complete system are
being performed. By doing so, the time required for rotating and positioning the
carousels is not a critical factor in terms of process time and throughput.
The Inner Carousel is only to be rotated during pipetting steps, as described
under 2.4.3.
It is rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction and provides the
source containers required for a specific pipetting step to be positioned precisely
underneath the probes.
The Outer Carousel is to be rotated during pipetting steps as described under
2.4.3.
Additionally, the outer carousel is to be rotated during measurement steps as
described under 2.4.4
For pipetting, it is rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction
and provides the target containers required for a specific pipetting step to be
positioned precisely underneath the probes.
For measurement steps, it is rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise
direction and provides the target containers required for the measurement step
to be positioned precisely at the entrance position of the Linear Photometer
street.

2.4.4 MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
HumaStar 180 is fitted with a unique Linear Photometer, featuring 20 independent measurement
channels for fast and accurate reading of test results in the cuvettes.
These 20 channels are organised in 5 groups of 4 channels each, whereas each group of 4 channels
is controlled by two electronic boards: One light emitting board and one detection board. These
are directly connected to the central Process Manager
Each of the 5 light emitting boards is fitted with 4 light sources (LED, light emitting diodes) and
the respective control electronics.
Each of the 5 detection boards is fitted with 4 detectors (Silicon Diodes) and the respective signal conver-
ter electronics, as well as with a RS 232 port which connects it with the Process Manager.

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION 21
For reading, the cuvette block is transported from the outer carousel through the
linear photometer by a transport belt.
Depending on the wavelength required for the measurement, the cuvette block
will be positioned into the 4 light beams of the respective photometer block.
The light emitted by the LED’s is directed through a focusing lens. This lens
ensures a light beam, which is as parallel as required for having homogenous
measurement conditions.
While passing the cuvettes, respectively the liquid in the cuvettes, a part of the
light energy is being absorbed by the liquid in the cuvette. The remaining light
energy is now passing another lens and the respective interference filter and is
then being measured by the detectors.
