FAQ

How is a photometer used?

In general, a photometer is used to measure the intensity of light by detecting how much light is absorbed, transmitted, or reflected by a sample. The device emits a controlled light source through a sample, and a sensor measures the light that reaches it. The photometer then converts this measurement into a numerical value, helping users analyze concentrations. Photometers are commonly used in laboratories, environmental testing, water quality analysis, and industrial applications.

A semi-automated clinical chemistry analyzer is used to quantitatively determine clinical chemistry analytes in human serum, plasma and other clinical specimen from patients of all ages and independent of gender. The chemistry analyzer is used in combination with in vitro diagnostic reagents designed for manual procedures to be used by qualified laboratory technicians. Quality control is performed with clinical chemistry standards, calibrators and controls available from the respective manufacturer of reagents.

 

What kind of light source does the analyzer use?

We are using LED technology.
LEDs offer consistent light intensity and wavelength, improving measurement accuracy and reproducibility.
  • Long lifetime
  • Up to 20.000 h run-time
  • Higher stability
  • Low maintenance

See our blog entry on the LED technology 

Which filters are installed?

Our analyzer has an automatic 9-position filter wheel with 6 standard interference filters (HBW ≤ 7 nm) isntalled: 340 nm, 405 nm, 492 nm, 546 nm, 578 nm and 623 nm;
However, 3 positions for optional filter can be of your choice.

What does the delivery package include?

  • Operating Instructions/Scan me QR Code
  • Aspiration tube
  • External power supply
  • Thermal printer paper
  • Pump tube with joints
  • Top cover small for printer
  • Waste tube
  • Dust cover
  • Optional: power bank

How long do you offer spare parts for my clinical chemistry analyzer?

Our motto is “All photometers shall be running – for decades and in the remotest places in the world”.

We supply spare parts and consumables for at least 7 years after purchase. Did you know that some analyzers are in the market for over 20 years at are still running?

Which clinical chemistry reagents are compatible for our analyzers?

Our devices have an open system, allowing users to utilize reagents from any brand manufacturing e.g clinical chemistry reagents.

Compatible reagents are validated on our devices. The respective methods can be pre-programmed in our analyzers and are therefore easily accessible.

What do I need to keep in mind when I turn off the device?

Find our end-of-day routine for semi-automated  clinical chemistry analyzers here: Link

The way we shut down and maintain our analyzers at the end of the day plays a critical role in ensuring accuracy, extending instrument life, and keeping workflows smooth.

For our Photometer 5010 with a flow-through cuvette, here’s a simple but essential end-of-day routine:

  • Flush the flow-through cuvette
  • Empty the tubing system
  • Release the pump tube
  • Check and clean waste container

How many methods can I program?

You can pre-program 231 methods and up to 50 non-linear calibration curves with max 20 sets of points can be stored. Your data can be imported by touchscreen or PC via RS232.

Follow our channel and find a video on “How to create a new method with Photometer 5010 and 4040”.

How do you use the volume optimized feature in the software?

The Volume Optimization feature in our clinical chemistry analyzer Photometer 5010 helps optimize sample use.

See our how-to guide on Volume Optimized is OFF vs. ON

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • What happens when Volume Optimized is OFF vs. ON
  • How the system behaves when you present the exact sample volume
  • What changes when you provide more than the required amount
  • How to make the most of this feature for smooth, reliable workflows

Do you have videos explaining some essential functions?

Yes, please follow our channel and find several videos on divers functions such as optic adjustment, how to align the touchscreen, etc.
