Unified Fluidics Circuit
Unified Fluids Circuit (UFC)
The UFC assembly uses Unifluidics technology. The UFC block is made up of eight acrylic plates. Machined within these plates are the pathways for the fluids and air flow, valves, and four reaction chambers. An additional chamber is mounted on the outside surface of the UFC block. The reagent pump assembly, mounted to the bottom of the UFC block, is also acrylic.

Dividing the Sample
The Sample Shear Valve divides the sample into 5 aliquots for the different types of tests. The reagents and sample segments are delivered to their respective reaction chambers for mixing and aspiration.

Absorption signal for peroxidase activity measurement Cells with medium peroxidase activity absorbs less light
than cells with high peroxidase activity
The Perox Method
Light scatter = Cell Size
The PEROX cytogram is divided into 100 counting channels on each axis. The cells absorb light proportional to the amount of peroxidase stain present, and this is represented on the x axis. Cells scatter light proportional to their size, and this is represented on the y axis. When the light scatter and absorption data are plotted, distinct populations or clusters are formed. Cluster analysis identifies each population based on its position, area, and density, and then the number of cells in each population is processed. The lines that separate the different cell populations are calculated by the software on a sample-bysample basis. Absorbed light = Peroxidase Activity
