5.3 - Application
The instrument is used as part of an automated laboratory logistical system and can be connected to a
maximum of 4 analyzers or similar reagent consuming instruments. These combined instruments are
expected to have a continuous consumption of <17 L/hr / ~20 L/hr peak (for 3 hours).
The instrument will be standing on the laboratory floor.
The instrument has limited mobility (allowing service) due to its filled weight, the connected tubing and
cables and its limited ground clearance.
The instrument will be used daily, typically during one or two shifts.
The instrument will operate in a conditioned laboratory environment, typically; 15-32˚C, Relative Humidity
35-75% (non-condensing) for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40
°C.
The instrument is designed for an operational altitude of 0-2000 m AMSL.
5.4 - Output performance characteristics
The actual output capacity is strongly dependent on input water conditions and the dilution ratio of the used
concentrated reagent.
▪ Reconstitution capacity: 20 L/hr
▪ Reconstituted reagent buffer volume: 10L
▪ Conductivity range: user specific (indication 10 -20 mS/cm @25˚C)
The exact conductivity is set in the software, depending on customer preferences.
5.5 - Waste
A drain for waste disposal must be present at the proximity of the instrument, no further away than 4m and
no elevation higher than 1m.
