PC back view Sampling and analysis Sampling mechanisms The sample probe (SPP) aspirates sample from the dilution tray (DTT) and dispenses it into reaction tray (RRV) cuvettes for analysis, according to specified conditions.
After the sample is aspirated, the SPP moves to the wash port, where its outside is washed. Sample probe valve (SPEV2) is open during this process, allowing water to flow over the outside of the SPP. ADVIA 2400 Operator’s Guide...
After the sample is dispensed, the SPP moves back to the wash port, where its inside is washed. Sample probe valve (SPEV1) opens, allowing the SCP to send degassed water through the SPP’s inside. After the wash, the water drains down the wash port. Clot detection The clot detection system utilizes a pressure transducer to monitor the pressure in the sample dilution probe line (DPP) for a complete obstruction during the sample aspiration...
Mixing is performed using a spinning, reciprocating, and vibrating paddle. Strong and weak stirring options are available. Both mixers are located behind the reaction tray. MIXR1 mixes sample with reagent 1 (R1). MIXR2 mixes sample with reagent 2 (R2). Reaction tray wash mechanisms Reaction washer (WUD) ADVIA 2400 Operator’s Guide...

Figure 1-15 Reaction tray washer The reaction washer (WUD) washes reaction tray (RRV) cuvettes after sample analysis is complete. This allows the reuse of cuvettes without the risk of contaminating the next sample. The WUD has seven nozzles, each performing a stage of the wash. Each nozzle works on a different cuvette, so the WUD washes seven cuvettes simultaneously (the cuvettes are being washed in different stages at the same time).
Reaction tank Reaction tank Three liquid surface level sensors Figure 1-17 Reaction tank The reaction tank contains non reactive oil, which keeps the temperature of the liquid in reaction tray (RRV) cuvettes at a constant 37 °C ±0.1 °C. The temperature is controlled by a heater and a thermostat.
The text on the SMP Pause button located on the Operation Panel is gray when inactive and black when active. • For more information on using the SMP Pause button, refer to the online Operator’s Guide. ADVIA 2400 Operator’s Guide...
Spectrophotometer Photometer Halogen Lamp Cooling Tank Figure 1-19. Location of the Spectrophotometer The spectrophotometer measures the amount of light absorbed at 14 specific wavelengths by liquids contained in reaction cuvettes. Every six seconds, the reaction tray (RRV) moves cuvettes containing reaction liquid (sample and reagent) in front of a halogen lamp, which sends light through the cuvettes.
Each tray has 50 positions. RTT1 contains the first reagent (R1); RTT2 contains the second reagent (R2). You can use any reagent container for more than one test item; a test item may require more than one reagent container. Each reagent tray has a barcode reader (RBC-1 and RBC-2).

Dilution tray mixer The dilution tray (DTT) mixer (DMIX) stirs the contents of DTT cuvettes brought to the mixer position. Mixing is performed using a reciprocating rod. Dilution Mixer (DMIX) Figure 1-23. Dilution tray mixer Dilution tray mixer operation At the time of system initialization, the mixer moves to the mixer position, then goes to the down position.
