ANALYSER FOR AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF HEMOSTATIC PROFILE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N11/10 G01N33/49 G01N33/86 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: analyser has a revolving cuvette with a sample in which there is a control ferromagnetic ball, a magnet which can interact with said ball, a coagulation sensor which transmits signals from the ball and having a Hall sensor and a magnet, a signal processing device in form of a power supply unit, a Hall sensor, a microprocessor and a display device included in a common measuring circuit. The analyser is multi-channelled by fitting at least one additional revolving cuvette to form several channels. All cuvettes lie in a temperature-controlled unit included in the common measuring circuit. The longitudinal axis of each cuvette is inclined at an acute angle to the vertical. In the coagulation sensor, the magnet lies opposite the Hall sensor on the opposite side of the cuvette. The magnet is in form of a flat cylinder mounted with possibility of displacement along the cuvette. The analyser is also fitted with a unit for controlling rotation of the cuvettes and, included in the common measuring a circuit, a measurement parameter adjustment unit having rewritable read-only memory, and a timer configured to automatically switch on when a reactant is fed into the cuvette.

EFFECT: use of the invention increases reliability and broadens functional capabilities of the analyser owing to use of a multichannel measuring circuit, and simplifies the measuring procedure by automating the process.
