  • Page 15: Measuring Principle

    ® Junior II is a semi-automated reflectance photometer for in-vitro semi-quantitative reading of urine test strips from Boehringer Mannheim. The light sources (light-emitting diodes, LED’s for short) and reading times are optimized for the reaction chemistry and colour development occurring on the test pads.
  • Page 16 The photometric reflectance measurement for all of the parameters is carried out after an incubation time of 60 seconds. As with earlier urine analyzers from Boehringer Mannheim, allowance for intrinsic urinary colour, which is a recognized interfering factor, is made through measurement of a blank reagent pad, the so-called "compensation pad".

    13. Troubleshooting The instrument contains software control functions which test the electronic hardware and peripherals after being switched on or after stand-by and which detect occuring errors during measurement. According to the importance of the error the just measured results are dismissed or in case of non-repairable errors (Major Error) the instrument changes to error condition.
