CHARACTERISTICS AND
SPECIFICATIONS
Declaration of Conformity
The QuikRead go instrument complies with the elec-
tromagnetic emission and immunity requirements
described in the standard IEC 61326-2-6.
Technical specification
The instrument has a pre-programmed microproces-
sor that controls the assay steps and data process-
ing. Test identification, timing, and the calibration
curve are stored in a barcode on each cuvette. Once
activated by the cuvette label, the microprocessor
controls and guides all steps in the assay and con-
verts the absorbance values from the samples into
concentration units.
Photometer
The QuikRead go photometer features a measure-
ment well, three LEDs, and light-detectors. The pho-
tometer has been designed and calibrated for both
photometric and turbidimetric measurements.

Touchscreen display
The user interface consists of an easy-to-use touch-
screen display. It is used by means of touch-sensitive
buttons presented on the screen. It also provides
the user with messages and prompts for performing
each step in the assay, and it reports the test results
and any error messages.

Instrument identifier
Each QuikRead go instrument has its own serial
number, which can be found on the label on the
bottom of the instrument.
Memory
The QuikRead go instrument has an internal memo-
ry for result history. See the section "Results".
Power supply
The instrument is powered by a power supply sup-
plied with the instrument. Additionally, the instru-
ment can use a battery pack as a power source. An
internal switch within the cable connector switches
the instrument automatically from battery-powered
to mains current use. For instructions on installing
a battery pack, see the section "Inserting a battery
pack."
Serial connection
The RJ45 socket can be used for a serial-type
connection with a special cable. Specifications for
wiring of the cable can be found on the website
www.quikread.com.
LAN connection
The RJ45 interface supports a 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-
TX Ethernet connection. Cat 5 / Cat 5e UTP (un-
shielded twisted pair) cable should be used.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not supported.
USB connection
The instrument has three A-type USB connectors.
These connectors can be used for the printer, bar-
code reader and memory stick. The instrument can
be connected as a virtual com-port to a PC or com-
puter via a B-type USB connector.
