4. INSTALLATION
The Minitecno must not be placed near centrifuges, oscillating agitators or other vibrating
instruments which might cause movement of the bench. The bench must be flat and level. The
instrument can be placed on a bench top, thus saving space in the laboratory environment. At
least 10 cm of space is required to ensure a free flow of air. At no time should the airflow of the fan
located at the rear of the instrument be obstructed.
Direct light on the instrument and sudden changes of temperature should be avoided.
After unpacking, check:
• The presence of a power cable
• The presence of the spare part lamp and thermal paper
To power the instrument, use a 'clean' line, with no variations in voltage, and provided with an
effective ground To install the Minitecno, once unpacked, put it on a work bench, not under
direct sunlight and far enough from air conditioning hoses. Connect the tubing for the waste and
connect the power cord to an AC outlet paying attention to the voltage corresponding to the
indications on the instrument. A UPS power supply it is recommended:
ATTENTION! Before switching on the instrument, be sure that it is arrived at room temperature.

5. READING PRINCIPLES
Minitecno is able to perform analyses, using the following reading principles.
When the operator chooses reagents, has to know which principles are supported by the
analyzer.
5.1 KINETIC
Kinetic method is mostly used for enzyme activity tests. This kind of reaction can be done with or
without sample blank. The reaction is monitored during the whole programmed measuring time.
The measurement is checked for linearity, the operator can decide if the R value is acceptable or
not. Measures are done every second.
The calculation of Kinetic methods is as follows:
* This part of the formula corresponds to the FACTOR (F) Normally this factor can be found in the
package insert of the test.
5.2 ENDPOINT
An endpoint measurement is performed in 2 seconds on the analyzer. Different calculations are
available:
WITHOUT BLANK
where
ConcSTD / AbsSTD = F
so
Conc = AbsSAMPLE x F
WITH BLANK
Where
So
ConcSAMPLE = (AbsSAMPLE – AbsREAG) x F

8.1.1 Filters
The first page reached is the filters page. Here, the values of the trimmers for the various filters are
displayed.
From this page, it is possible to perform calibration of the filters (zeroing the photometer). To
perform calibration, press the “start calibration” button, position a container with bidistilled water
under the sipper tube and press the aspiration button 3 times in a row. Once aspiration is
complete, the calibration of the various filters will begin: this operation requires a few minutes.
If filter calibration is successful, a green circle will appear next to each filter. When all the filters are
calibrated, it is possible to exit the page by pressing EXIT.
If the calibration procedure is not successful, a red circle will appear next to the filter which
cannot be calibrated.
ATTENTION: even if the filter is not successfully calibrated, it is nevertheless possible to work with
the instrument and use the other filters. In the event that certain filters are not calibrated, it is
advisable to perform flushing of the cuvette with distilled water and suitable detergents, and leave
distilled water inside the cuvette for at least an hour (see paragraphs 8.1.2 and 15.2 for cuvette
flushing). Afterwards, repeat the filter calibration procedure.
If, even after this procedure, the filter cannot be calibrated, contact the assistance service.

8.1.2 Pump
From this menu, it is possible to set the aspiration parameters during the sampling and flushing
phases.
Pressing the “speed” field allows the operator to modify the aspiration speed of the peristaltic
pump, while pressing the “time” field allows the operator to modify the pump “ON” time,
expressed in milliseconds.
Once the parameters have been modified, the approximate volume which is aspired using the
set parameters appears.
Extra Time Function: by completing this field, further sampling takes place, which is added to the
sampling volume set in the “speed” and “time” fields. This function is recommended when using
small working volumes (350 – 400 microlitres), as setting further aspiration recovers the sample
which is found inside the sampling tube. The extra time is a value expressed in milliseconds and it is
normally sufficient to set 1 millisecond of extra time to allow the sample which is found in the
sampling tube to reach the cuvette.
ATTENTION: Only use the extra time function at slow pump speeds (150). If higher values than 1-2
milliseconds of extra time are set, there is a risk of letting air enter the cuvette.
In order to make the modified parameters effective, press the “save” button or the changes will
be lost on exiting the page.

Water value too high Water signal is too low." it means that may be
the cuvette is unclean or there are some
bubble.
Keep the blue button of the instrument
pressed for few seconds to aspirate water and
to wash a lot, then try again.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, perform a
flow cell extraordinary maintenance as
described in section 15.2.
If this doesn’t solve the problem or if the
message "Attention! Water signal is too low." Is
shown, you must repeat the instrument
calibration.
Problems during aspiration Replace the peristaltic pump (see section
15.3)
Problems with lamp (how to replace the lamp) To replace the lamp you just have to
disconnect the green connector on the main
board and to unscrew the 3 screw of the lamp
support. Then just replace with a new lamp
already mounted in its support (see section
15.4)
It's necessary to repeat the calibration of the
instrument.
How to replace a filter To replace a filter first you have to open the
frontal panel, then dismount photometric
group (just unscrew the 2 knobs in the frontal
side) and then, on the right side of the
photometric group, remove the 2 screws to
open a small panel to access the filter wheel.
Here remove the screw and push the small
sledge to remove the filter. Then insert the new
