Understanding the fluidics will help you monitor electrolyte processing, perform maintenance, and troubleshoot IMT error messages. dimensionfam_exl200_exllm_imtoverview_olt_8.mp3 IMT Fluid Flow Liquids flow through IMT system tubings in an alternating pattern of air and liquid segments. Liquids pulled into the system include the following: 1:10 diluted sample for measurement Standards A or B for calibrations Flush solution to clean the IMT port and tubings to prevent carryover from one sample to the next The process begins as the IMT pump pulls liquid into the IMT rotary valve, which rotates to insert a segment of air from the air inlet port into the liquid stream, followed by flush solution from the IMT port. This action creates a pattern of air, sample, and flush liquid segments that move through the tubing for measurement by the QuikLYTE® Integrated Multisensor. Note: The IMT system creates the same air/liquid pattern for all liquids that flow through the system: serum, plasma, or urine, as well as Standards A and B.
