Introduction The KENZA 240 TX and KENZA 240 ISE are Random Access analysers with microprocessor control. The instrument is available as a bench top version. The analyses are performed patient-by-patient, respecting the order of acceptance and the priority assigned. At any moment of the routine, new patients can be added to the worklist.
Scanning is performed on each reading cuvette, with all the available wavelengths, thus allowing the multi- chromatic reading. The reading cuvettes are kept at a temperature of 37° C by means of a single resista nce which heats the cuvette compartment. These are maintained at a temperature of 37°C by the air circulat ing between the rotor walls.
Electronic control The whole electronic control system is contained in a rack system at the back right of the instrument. The various functions are controlled by five electronic boards. Two of them control the mechanical movements. The ADC board controls the photometer functioning and the signals conversion. The temperature board controls the temperature and the functioning of level sensor.
1.11 Technical specifications Principle of Operation Random Access Reading Mode Absorbance (extinction) STAT function Possibility of inserting urgent samples at any moment during the routine. End point with continuous monitoring. Linear regressions for kinetic reactions. Initial Type of analysis Rate (two-point kinetic). Bi-chromatic reactions. Differential reactions (with blank sample).
Unpacking the Kenza 240 TX / ISE Carefully inspect the package for any sign of shipping damage. The box contains a shock detector that detects every shock higher than 50G. Check it before opening the box. Caution! If package or contents are damaged, put a claim in with the freight forwarder and notify BIOLABO or your local agent.
Screen Definition The screen definition has to be set as 800x600. If the definition is higher, the software will work perfectly but the software will appear smaller, in the top left of the screen. : The software allows the use of Touch Screen. Starting operations 1) Wash and fill up the Water tank with distilled water, 2) Wash the waste tank.

8) Press “Exit” to return to the main menu. Press the “CK Cuvettes” key and then the “Enter” key. The cuvettes will first be filled with approximately 700 µl of distilled water, after which each will undergo a light beam reading, representing zero or the starting point for analytical measurement. On completion, the following table will be shown with readings performed on 50 cuvettes of various wavelengths.
