Sample Chamber
The hemoglobin content is measured in the sample chamber, which is located
between the fiber optics and the polychromator. After passing through the
hemolyzer, the sample moves to the sample chamber where it is warmed to 37
°
C.
Fluidic Components
The fluidic components move fluids, gases, and samples through the
800 system. The electronic components direct the fluidic components in response
to the user interface and automatic system activities. The CO-ox module uses the
fluidic components of the base model and additional components.
