The ROBOCat II instrument is an automated liquid handling system
designed to measure blood cells using the electronic principle of
particle counting and sizing (measuring changes in electrical
resistance produced by a blood cell suspended in a conductive
liquid traversing a small aperture). The unit consists of an XYZ robotic
sample processor (belt driven, stepper motor controlled on X and Y
axises and air driven Z axis), air driven modular syringe pump with 3-
port distribution valve, vacuum/pressure pump, solenoid valves for
ow control, 12 and 24 VDC linear power supplies, aperture Plate
(reading area) and a main controller board that communicates with
the front-end PC via the RS232 port. All components are modular
thus allowing easy access for troubleshooting and replacement. The
software is compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows. The
instrument is manufactured using Good Manufacturing Practices in a
FDA Registered Medical Device Establishment (facility registration
number: 1051901).
