8 $ 9 . You were previously instructed to prime the fluid system. Since then, you have been learning about the menu selections. Now it is time to check the probe baseline current to determine if the installed enzyme membrane sensor(s) and probe(s) have equilibrated and are stable enough to initiate calibration.
Page 40
Once the installed membranes and probes are equilibrated, the probe baseline current typically runs below 2 nA. This equilibration may take a day or two and does not usually affect operation during the first day since autocalibrations compensate for probe current drift. When enzyme membrane replacements are required in the future, stabilization will occur much more rapidly, usually within several minutes of installation, if there has been no power disruption to the instrument.
Page 41
When you power on or reset your 2700 SELECT the Main Menu appears on the instrument display. Please select instrument mode [RUN] [STANDBY] [MENU] From Main Menu you may enter any of three modes by pressing the appropriate function key. The modes are RUN, STANDBY and MENU.
Page 42
IMPORTANT: The RUN and STANDBY keys act as toggle keys: You enter RUN Mode by pressing [RUN] and you exit RUN Mode by pressing [RUN]. You enter STANDBY Mode by pressing [STANDBY] and you exit STANDBY Mode by pressing [STANDBY]. In each action above you must confirm your intention by pressing [2] or [1] for yes or no, respectively, then press [ENTER] to confirm your choice.

For the purposes of demonstrating basic operation, choose the high level standard for the chemistry you are set up to run. For example, if you have installed a YSI 2365 (glucose oxidase) membrane, calibrate with YSI 2776 standard and use YSI 1531 standard (containing 9.00 g/L dextrose) to run as a sample.

Page 45
For the purposes of learning basic operation, compare the instrument value with the labeled value of the YSI standard. The 'linearity' standard should be within ±5% of the label value. For example, if you calibrated the 2700 SELECT at 2.50 g/L dextrose using YSI 2776 as the calibrator solution, YSI 1531 (9.00 g/L) should read between 8.55 g/L and 9.45 g/L dextrose.
Page 46
The results are then displayed and printed as shown above. Again compare the value reported by the instrument with the value on the label of the YSI 1531 Standard (9.00 g/L dextrose). Repeat calibration and sampling if the result is not within specified tolerance limits of ±5% as described above.
Page 47
NOTE: This test is recommended for all YSI Enzyme Membranes except Galactose Oxidase Membranes (YSI 2702). In these membranes FCN is a component of the supply buffer. High baseline error messages may provide similar information regarding the structural integrity of the installed membrane.
* If you use units other than g/L for the FCN test, refer to Appendix A for conversion values. Linearity Test Use the appropriate YSI linearity standard to test the linear range of the chemistry or chemistries you have chosen. See the list below to be certain you are testing with the correct standard solution.
Page 49
If you are setting up to measure galactose or hydrogen peroxide using one of the YSI Enzyme Membrane Sensors, see Section 4 for more information. * If you use units other than g/L for the linearity test, refer to Appendix A for conversion values.

The sensor technology of the YSI 2700 SELECT is based on the principles conceived by Dr. Leland Clark of Children’s Hospital Foundation, Cincinnati, Ohio. The immobilized enzyme membrane was invented by YSI and is covered by U.S. Patent 4,073,713. This sensor technology has been used successfully since 1975 in the YSI 23A Blood Glucose Analyzer;...
Page 98
The face of the probe, covered by the membrane, is situated in a buffer-filled sample chamber into which a sample is injected. Some of the substrate diffuses through the membrane. When it contacts the immobilized oxidase enzyme, it is rapidly oxidized, producing hydrogen peroxide. See Reaction 1, using glucose as an example.
Page 99

(i ). Typical net responses for the 2700 SELECT are between 10 and 25 nA (nanoamps) for YSI calibration solutions. The maximum net probe current is about 500 nanoamps.
! The 2700 SELECT monitors the probe baseline current for nA activity and stability. If an unstable baseline is detected, the buffer pump will continue to flush the sample chamber with buffer.
Page 101
" # !
To maintain a sample ready status, the 2700 SELECT self-calibrates. Calibrating establishes the sensors’ response, in nanoamps of current, to a known concentration of substrate. The sensors calibration response must be above 5 nA. A response below this value will result in an error.
Page 102
This occurs as an enzyme membrane ages. It is necessary to periodically check sensor linearity. YSI offers linearity standards for all of the recommended calibration values. See Section 1.4 for details. If you chose to identify your own calibration value and measurement range, keep this failure mode in mind.

The 2700 SELECT has two operation modes: RUN Mode, where calibration and sample analysis occur and STANDBY Mode, where system power is on, but only a few maintenance functions occur. This conserves reagents during extended periods of inactivity. The 2700 SELECT also has menu selections for service, setup and diagnostics. The Main Menu of the software therefore provides three options: RUN, STANDBY, and MENU.
[RUN] [STANDBY] [MENU] Preventive Maintenance The YSI 2788 Preventive Maintenance Kit contains all supplies necessary to keep your 2700 SELECT operating properly. Perform the Calibration Pumping System Maintenance detailed in Section 7.2 at least once every month. Perform the maintenance procedures in Sections 7.3 to 7.11 every 6 months or as necessary.
Please select instrument mode [RUN] [STANDBY] [MENU] Select instrument function 1-Service 2-Setup 3-Diagnostic Select service: 1-Sipper 2-Buffer 3-Cal 4-Stir speed 5-Monitor 6-Turntable If the calibrator bottle cap assembly needs cleaning, make sure it is thoroughly rinsed and dried before it is attached to a fresh bottle of calibrator solution. If you are calibrating from a test tube at the Test Tube Holder Station (#2), evaporation is a major concern.
Clean up Spills Spills should be cleaned up promptly to prevent biohazard build-up and corrosion. Clean any spills of biological material from the sample area. If there is any evidence of salt build-up around the base of the sample chamber, follow the procedure in Section 7.3 to disassemble the chamber and clean the base.
Page 108
It is necessary to periodically clean both the sample chamber and the base plate it sets on. Move the Sipper to the manual sample position. From the Main Menu press [MENU]. Next press [3] for Diagnostic, then press [1] for Motor, then press [1] for Sipper motor. Press [1] for Up, to raise the Sipper from the Sample Chamber, then press [4] for Clockwise to move the Sipper over to the Manual Sample position.

Clean up any salt deposits or fluid on the base plate. Be sure that the base plate and all other parts are dry. Refer to Figure 7.1 and reassemble the chamber. Remember to return the stir bar to the chamber and be sure to install the chamber seal O-ring. Insert the probes into the chamber, installing new membranes (see Section 2.4) or O-rings as necessary.
With normal use, enzyme sensors may become fouled and cease to operate in a normal mode. A fouled sensor’s output current will decrease and calibration may become unstable. Since the severity of fouling will vary, listed below are methods of cleaning which should be matched to the cleaning needs.

& The buffer and calibrator pumps in the 2700 SELECT are peristaltic tubing pumps. The tubing life depends on instrument usage. The pump tubes should be replaced at least every 6 months, more frequently if necessary. Other tubes become loose at the fittings and should also be replaced every 6 months.
Page 112
Figure 7.3 Pump Tubing Installation Make sure that the correct length of tubing is sticking out of the pump (1 to 1½″ [2.5 to 3.5 cm] of the large diameter tubing on the left side of the buffer pump), then rotate the roller assembly while pushing the tubing down into the pump ahead of the roller.

This section describes the communications protocol between the 2700 SELECT and a host computer. The 2700 SELECT has an RS-232 serial port. When you install the appropriate hardware interface (e.g., shielded NULL modem cable), the 2700 SELECT communicates in ASCII over this interface.
Page 128
Hardware Handshaking Signals. The four handshaking signals used to control the data flow are RTS/CTS and DTR/DCD. The 2700 drives RTS when it wishes to transmit and waits for CTS before transmitting each character. Likewise, the 2700 asserts DTR when it is ready to receive data and receives only when DCD is asserted.
Page 129
You can select the 2700 handshaking protocol, RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF. In addition, you can select baud rate, data length (bits per character), parity, stop bit, and configuration (multipoint or point-to-point). For information on communications setup, see Section 4.2, Menu Setup. The communications menu is a submenu of General setup.
Error Codes Code 1 a) 2700 is not in remote control mode. This condition generally indicates that you invoked the TN1 command (enter Run Mode remotely) when the 2700 was not in remote mode. You must first successfully invoke TR1 (turn on remote control mode).
Page 131
The 2700 can be placed in one of two communications modes: Result Reporting Mode or Remote Control Mode. The selection between modes is made by the remote host. The default mode at power-up is Result Reporting Mode. 2700 Data Base. The 2700 keeps a data base of 32 sample results and 1 calibration result in its battery-backed RAM (random access memory).
Page 132
Data Transmission Records. The data report format from "2700 to HOST" is transmitted as shown in the example below. Information includes: » time » date » temperature (sample chamber) » node address (re: multidrop mode; instrument identification) » ID (sample identification number) »...
Page 134
The fields of the data transmission records are more specifically defined below in Figure 9.5. A ruler line is used simply to help you identify the offset and field widths in the report. We have used the following symbols to depict changes from early 2700 software vs versions 2.41 and higher.
Page 135
Command Description. For quick reference, the communications commands are divided into five functional groups: process, report database, database management, control and report system information. For details on process commands, see "Remote Control Commands", later in this section. PROCESS Process calibration Process sample from calibration well (Station #1) Process sample from test tube holder (Station #2) Process turntable batch (Station #4)
Page 136
Common Commands. The commands below can be invoked in either Remote Control Mode or in Result Reporting Mode, unless otherwise stated. Available commands are those in the Report Database and Report System Information categories above. When Report Status (RY) is invoked, the command obtains the 2700 status. The status includes communications mode, sample result status, calibration result status, machine status and remote command status.
Page 137
When Report Last Transmission (RX) is invoked, the last transmission of the 2700 is sent to the host. It is used when the response received by the 2700 contains an unknown character, is not in the correct format, or whenever in doubt due to communications error. Host to 2700: Report last transmission 2700 to Host:...
Page 138
Remote Control Commands. The commands outlined above in the "Process" category can be invoked only in Remote Control Mode. If the system is not in the Remote Control Mode, you must first invoke the Turn Remote Control On (TR1) command. Note: For each command from Host to 2700, the 2700 sends back an acknowledgment (A) or an error code.
Page 139
Host to 2700: Exit Run Mode and switch to Standby Mode or Menu Mode. 2700 to Host: Acknowledge. 2700 exits Run Mode. 2700 is not in Remote Control Mode. 2700 is busy in Run Mode. When you invoke TN1 (Enter Run Mode), the instrument enters Run Mode from Standby or from “Menu Mode”.
Page 140
When you invoke the Process Sample (PS) command, the Host commands the 2700 to sample from one of four locations depending on the specific command (PS1, PS2, PS4 or PS5). If the 2700 is running an autocalibration, calibration stabilization or baseline stabilization, the command is acknowledged and the sample is processed as soon as the instrument finishes the existing task.
Page 141
When you invoke the RM (Report Parameters) command the instrument reports to you the current system time, date and measurement parameters. For ease of deciphering this information, the report format is almost identical to that of the sample and calibration reports. The only difference is that the Error Field, beginning at column 62, contains additional information about the calibration parameters.
Page 142
When you invoke the RI (Report Information) command, the instrument uploads the instrument setup that is not reported by the RM command, except communications and local control parameters. The information reported by this command is coded to conserve space. You must know the codes listed in Figure 9.7 to understand these setup parameters.
Page 143
Additional remote control commands related to changing the external monitoring parameters and aborting a turntable run are described below. Monitor Parameter Modification Commands (MP, MT, MR, MO, MS). You may use the commands described below to change monitor setup parameters remotely. change external pump purge time to t, where t is in seconds change monitor time interval to t, where t is in minutes change precal time interval to t, where t is in minutes...
Page 145
In the YSI 2700 SELECT menu selection procedure you have the option to assign units of concentration. You will find this in the Setup Menu under measurement parameters, black and white probes. There are default values set based on calibration solutions offered by YSI. Below is a table of unit conversions for these calibration solutions and other concentrations of interest.
Page 146
Example Conversions Beginning with 2.50 g/L dextrose, convert this to mg\L, then % and finally to mmol/L: 1. Multiply by unit conversion(s) 2. Cancel units common in “numerator” and “denominator” 3. Multiply numbers ? mg/L = 2.50 g/L = (2.50 g/L)(1000 mg/g) = (2.50)(1000) mg/L = 2500 mg/L ? % (w/v) = 2.50 g/L = (2.50 g/L)(0.1 L/dL) = (2.50)(0.1) g/dL = 0.250 g/dL = 0.250 % (Note: g/dL is g/100ml or percent)
Page 148
0.01 0.29 (342) NOTE: Use the values from the preceding tables only when calibrating with the appropriate YSI calibrator solution: Choline (2772), Dextrose (2776), Ethanol (2790), L-Glutamate (2755), L- Glutamine (2736), L-Lactate (2776), Methanol (2726) and Sucrose (2780).
