We describe a new clinical laboratory instrument, the ACS:180, used to automate heterogeneous immunoassay testing. The ACS:180 automates immunoassays in which paramagnetic particles are the solid phase and changes in chemiluminescence are measured. The system can accommodate both competitive and sandwich-type assay configurations. The microprocessor-based instrument fully automates each step of the assay, including sample and reagent addition, separation and wash of paramagnetic particles, and generation and acquisition of the chemiluminescent signal. The instrument has the flexibility to operate in random-access or batch mode. The time from application of sample to first result is less than 15 min; throughput is as much as 180 tests per hour.
我们介绍一种新型临床实验室仪器——ACS:180，用于自动化异质免疫分析检测。ACS:180可自动进行以顺磁性颗粒为固相并测量化学发光变化的免疫分析。该系统可采用竞争型和夹心型两种分析模式。基于微处理器的仪器能完全自动化分析的每个步骤，包括加样和加试剂、顺磁性颗粒的分离与洗涤以及化学发光信号的产生与采集。该仪器具有随机存取或批量操作的灵活性。从加样到首个结果的出报告时间不到15分钟；每小时的检测通量高达180次。
