3. Introduction
3.1 Basic Principles
According to the Lambert - Beer law, when a bunch of incident light shoots through the
colorimetric solution, there is the law concerning the incident light, transmitted light
and the solution of light absorption.
A=-Log10T=KCL
T=I/I0
I0---- Incident light intensity
I----- Transmitted light intensity
A---- Absorbance
C----- Concentration
L----- Optical path
k----- Coefficient
The testing principle of biochemistry analyzer mainly applies light absorption: the
Lambert - Beer law, by measuring the absorbance of the monochromatic light which
shoots through the liquid mixture of the serum or urine and other body fluids and
reagents to determine whether human physiological indicators are normal.
3.2 Hardware
In order to auto-complete specimen test, hardware support is indispensable, which
includes the following aspects:

3.2.1 Optical System

8 spectral groups
1. light source 2. fiber guided beam 3. Cuvette 4. Interference filters 5.

Optoelectronic receivers
Figure 1 the optical path diagram
Instrument optical system shown in Figure 1
Light of light source shoots upon the fiber end and then is divided into eight beams
which act as the incident light shooting upon the cuvette. The beams become
monochromatic light after shooting through the solution and go into interference filter
spectrophotometric and then shoot a photoelectric receiver.
We choose the quartz glass halogen lamp of 12V 20W as thr light source, ant the light
source collimates into a parallel beam of 2.5mm diameter. We should use rectangular
discrete plexiglass cuvette of 6mm optical diameter through which UV can shoot
through cuvettes. Cuvettes should be uniform in the shape and there should be no
scratches on the surface of light transmission hole. Light transmittance slot of precise
120 attainment yards disk align at the middle of the cuvette so as to ensure the readings
sampling point is in the middle of the cuvette; 120 cuvettes are placed in a circle of the
reaction plate with the smallest volume of 180ul. The advantage is that there is no cross
contamination. Taking into account the speed of rotating colorimetric turntable, we use
static eight-way splitter system, and integrated components package consisting of
import filters and optical receiver to test wavelength of 340 ,
405,450,510,546,578,630,700 with spectral half width of less than 10nm ± 2nm, so that
we can collect eight wavelength data at once without any mechanical movement, and
overcome the defect that the reaction disk of some of the imported products and the
filter halo also rotate at the same time so as to ensure measurement accuracy.
