    摘要: In combination, an instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control, and a cuvette for holding a sample of the biological fluid or control, the characteristic of which is to be determined. The instrument comprises a radiation-reflective surface, a first source for irradiating the surface, and a first detector for detecting radiation reflected from the surface. The cuvette has two opposed walls substantially transparent to the source radiation and reflected radiation. The first source and first detector are disposed adjacent a first one of the two opposed walls. The radiation reflective surface is disposed adjacent a second of the two opposed walls. A second source is provided for irradiating the surface. The first detector detects radiation from the second source reflected from the surface. The second source is positioned to transmit radiation through the two opposed walls for reflection by the surface and transmission back through the two opposed walls to the first detector to indicate whether a sample has reached a first point in the cuvette.

    摘要: An instrument monitors the coangulation of coagulable fluid blood, blood fraction or a control by combining the coagulable fluid with particles which are affected by a magnetic field so that the particles become suspended relatively freely in the fluid. A time-varying magnetic field causes the particles to be reoriented as the magnetic field varies. The reorientation changes as the fluid coagulates owing to the fluid's changing viscosity. An electromagnet creates the time-varying magnetic field. The electromagnet includes a core comprising a first leg an electrically conductive coil for creating a time-varying magnetic flux in the core, and a return for the time-varying magnetic flux. The first leg and the flux return together comprise a generally H-shaped core of ferromagnetic material. A bobbin is provided on the first leg and the electrically conductive coil is wound on the bobbin.

    摘要: A method of immunizing the operation of an instrument which determines a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control against noise. The instrument includes a surface upon which a user deposits a sample of biological fluid or control the characteristic of which is to be determined. The instrument irradiates the sample and detects radiation from the sample to determine the characteristic. The method comprises monitoring the detected radiation a first time to determine if the detected radiation is increasing or decreasing, forming a first change in detected radiation from said first monitoring, subsequently monitoring the detected radiation a second time to determine if the detected radiation is increasing or decreasing, forming a second change in detected radiation from said second monitoring, forming an overall change in detected radiation from the first and second monitorings, establishing a first threshold, establishing a second threshold, comparing the first change to the first threshold, comparing the second change to the first threshold, if the magnitudes of both the first and second changes are greater than the first threshold, comparing the overall change in radiation to the second threshold, and determining the characteristic if the magnitudes of the first and second changes are greater than the first threshold and the overall change is greater than the second threshold.
