SF-8050 Automatic Coagulation Analyzer Manual
SF-8050 Automatic Coagulation Analyzer is an automatic instrument for clotting test which
use voltage AC 100-240V. SF-8050 can be used for clinical test and pre-operative screening.
Hospitals and medical scientific researchers also can use SF-8050. Which adopts
coagulation and immunoturbidimetry、chromogenic method to test the clotting of plasma。
The instrument shows that clotting measurement value is the clotting time (in seconds). If
the test item is calibrated by calibration plasma, it can also display other related results.
The product is made of sampling needle movable unit、 cleaning unit、 cuvettes
movable unit、 heating and cooling unit、 test unit、 operation-displayed unit、 RS232
interface (used for printer and transfer date to PC).
Technology and experienced staffs and analyzers of high quality and strict quality
management are the guarantee of manufacture of SF-8050 and good quality. We guarantee
each instrument inspected and tested strictly. SF-8050 meets country standard, industry
standard, enterprise standard and IEC standard.
The coagulation test of the instrument adopts coagulation method. The method of
judgment is induction method. The principle consists in measuring the variation in amplitude of
the ball oscillation. A drop in amplitude corresponds to an increase in the viscosity of the
medium, i.e. to the coagulation phenomenon. The instrument can figure out the clotting time by
the motion of the ball.

SF-8050 Automatic Coagulation Analyzer Manual
Immunoturbidimetry are chemical tests used to detect or quantify a specific substance, the analyte, in a blood
or body fluid sample, using an immunological reaction. Immunoassays are highly sensitive and specific.
Their high specificity results from the use of antibodies and purified antigens as reagents. An antibody is a
protein (immunoglobulin) produced by B-lymphocytes (immune cells) in response to stimulation by an
antigen. Immunoassays measure the formation of antibody-antigen complexes and detect them via an
indicator reaction. High sensitivity is achieved by using an indicator system (e.g., enzyme label) that results
in amplification of the measured product.
Chromogenic substrates are peptides that react with proteolytic enzymes under the formation of color.
They are made synthetically and are designed to possess a selectivity similar to that of the natural substrate
for the enzyme. Attached to the peptide part of the chromogenic substrate is a chemical group which when
released after the enzyme cleavage gives rise to color. The color change can be followed
spectrophotometrically and is proportional to the proteolytic activity.
The chromogenic substrate technology was developed in the early 1970s, and has since then become a tool of
substantial importance in basic research. The majority of chromogenic substrate applications are found in
various clinical fields. In particular they have been used to generate fundamental knowledge of the
mechanisms regulating blood coagulation and fibrinolysis.

incubation
Second reagent cuvette time results
The plasma is pipetted by sampling needle then distributed in a cuvette of incubation site. If the first
reagent is needed, the sampling needle will pipette the first reagent to the cuvette of incubation site.
When reaching incubation time, cuvette-hooking system startup, hooking the cuvette of incubation
site to test site. At the same time, reagent needle pipettes reagent to the cuvette of test site, then test
starts. When test finished, cuvette-hooking system will hook the cuvette from test site and throws it
into the waste bin.

SF-8050 Automatic Coagulation Analyzer Manual
For all products (reagents, calibration, control plasmas and patient plasmas), please
observe the necessary precautions regarding potentially contaminated biological products, in
accordance with current legislation:
Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where these products are being handled.
Use disposable gloves and handle all these products as a potential source of infection.
Use running water to rinse and Consult your physician immediately in case of ingestion
or contact with mucosa or skin lesions.
Dispose of all products as if they were infected, in accordance with current legislation
and regulations (e.g.: heat sterilization, incineration of disposables, and use of sodium
hypochlorite for liquid waste).
The test setups supplied by SUCCEEDER have been individually validated for the SF-8050
machine and the possible interactions between the reagents should be taken into account
when performing the assays..

The guideline of specimen collection used for coagulation testing refers to NCCLS
document H21-A3 “Collection, Transport, and processing of Blood Specimens for Coagulation
Testing and General Performance of Coagulation Assays; Approved Guideline—Third
Edition”。This document provides procedures for collecting、transporting、and storing blood;
processing blood specimens ; storage of plasma for coagulation testing ; general
recommendations for performing the test。
Anticoagulant
- The anticoagulant used for coagulation assays should be 105-109mmol/L,3.13%-3.2%
(commonly described as 3.2%)of the dehydrate form of sodium citrate(Na3C6H5O7·2H2O)。Other
anticoagulants (e.g. heparin 、 EDTA 、 oxalate) are unacceptable. The final concentration of
anticoagulant in the blood is 10.9-12.9mmol/L。
- The proportion of blood to the anticoagulant volume is 9:1.
- The anticoagulant in the blood should be adjusted in patients who have PCV values above 55% or
below 20%.The anticoagulant volume may be adjusted from the expression:
x = volume of anticoagulant blood×[ (100 - PCV)/( 595 - PCV) ]
Where,
x is the volume of anticoagulant in ml,
PCV is the packed cell volume in %,
e.g.:to determine the volume required for 5ml anticoagulant blood,the patient’s
PCV is 20%, the anticoagulant x=0.7ml
The device used for touching blood must be plastic products. E.g. tube、 pipette、
syringe。
The drawing sample can not be less than 2Ml
Specimen Collection
- Time: drawing blood should be limosis in the morning.
- Body part: commonly draw venous blood in the front elbow。
- Drawing blood should be aculeate. Avoid puncturing time after time,and avoid
hemolysis. Platelets may congregate because of stimulating(if hemolysis occur, the
blood should be drawn again).Meanwhile, we also should avoid drawing tissue fluid
into syringe or cause air leak。 Mixing blood and anticoagulant should be gentle
inversion and can not be agitation。

SF-8050 Automatic Coagulation Analyzer Manual
Specimen Preparation
Centrifuge the mixed anticoagulant blood at temperature of 25℃-32℃ and spin
at 2000 to 2500 r.p.m for 10 minutes. Take it out after centrifugal machine stopped
(if hemolysis occurs, drawing blood again ) ,the top clear liquid in the tube is
platelet-poor plasma(PPP) 。
Storage of Specimen
- For coagulation testing, specimens for PT assays kept at 18 to 24℃ should be
tested within 24 hours from time of specimen collection;Specimens for APTT
assays kept at 18 to 24℃ should be tested within 4 hours;Specimens for other
assays(e.g. FIB、PC、Factor V、Factor VIII)should be tested within 4 hours from
time of specimen collection。
- If the coagulation testing cannot be performed immediately,the sample may be held
for two hours at 4℃ until tested. If the testing is not completed within 24 hours for
PT specimens and 4 hours for APTT and for other assays specimens, plasma
should be frozen at -20℃ for up to 2 weeks or -70℃ for up to 6 months。Frozen
plasma samples should be rapidly thawed at 37℃ and tested immediately。The
APTT may be affected on specimens which have been frozen.
