2.1 Introduction

Before starting measurements, make sure that the microplate

The SUNRISE instruments are fully automatic, microprocessor controlled readers
designed for professional use, enabling the user to measure the light absorbance
(optical density) of samples in 96 well microplates according to the specifications
described in this publication for in vitro diagnostics.

Note:

SUNRISE Absorbance Reader is intended for use

with only external software.

Caution

position A1 is inserted correctly.

Note:

Results obtained using the SUNRISE are influenced by the proper use of the

instrument and microplates, according to the instructions given in this

document, as well as the liquid compounds used (reagents, chemistry). The

instructions for use, storage and other manipulations in connection with

samples or reagents must be strictly followed. Taking this fact into

consideration, results must be interpreted carefully.

By reading twelve wells simultaneously, the instrument is able to measure a
microplate in approximately six seconds.

The obtained transmission values are converted into OD values according to the
following formula:

Based on a new design concept EPAC, the excellent optical performance and
high quality of the SUNRISE will guarantee fast, reproducible and accurate
measurements.

The SUNRISE is designed to be fitted into Tecan robotic systems.
The SUNRISE Absorbance Reader is an optical 96-well microplate reader for the

measurement of absorbance and turbidimetry of samples from the biological or
non-biological origin according to the specifications described in this document,
intended for professional use only.

2. General

The SUNRISE Absorbance Reader is available with options Touchscreen,
tuneable wavelength, temperature control and barcode scanner.

The Tecan Sunrise Absorbance Reader when used with the appropriate Magellan
software is declared suitable for in-vitro diagnosis (IVD) purposes (Directive
98/79/EC of the European Community).

Magellan is a reader control and data reduction software package, also used for
concentration and titer determination.

Note:

It is important to note that the proper installation of the instrument and

Magellan software alone will not ensure compliance with the IVD Directive. A

range of policies and standard operating procedures according to local

regulations must also be established.

Make sure that the instrument and the software are suitable for use with the
reagents, chemicals and microplates used (see 7.2 Optimizing for Maximum
Performance and 7.3 Performance Tests).

Caution

If the instructions given in this publication are not correctly followed,

the instrument may become damaged or procedures may not be correctly

performed and the safety of the instrument cannot be guaranteed.

Note:

For more information about the operating instructions,

see Magellan or XFluor4 Instructions for Use.

WARNING

CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT.

FAILURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS

PUBLICATION MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT, INJURY TO OPERATING

PERSONNEL OR POOR INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE.

2. General

2.2 Area of Application

2.2.1 Sunrise Intended Use

The Sunrise Absorbance Reader is an optical 96-well microplate reader for the
measurement of absorbance including turbidimetry (optical density) of samples
from biological or non-biological origin according to the specifications described in
this manual intended for professional use in:

 in-vitro diagnostic environments with tests like:

• Enzyme Immuno Assays (EIA), e.g. for diagnostic of infectious
diseases, autoimmune diagnostic, allergy screening,

• Agglutination Assays, e.g. for blood typing assays,

• Enzyme Assays, e.g. haemostaseology assays and

• Enzyme Linked Probe Hybridization Assays (ELPHA), e.g. HLA-

typing assays,

which have been validated according to the IVD directive or other
relevant regulations or

 pharmaceutical, biotechnological and life science industry, for research

use, for food analysis and veterinary applications.

The Sunrise Absorbance Reader has been validated for use with representative
applications from the above list. The validation shows the general ability of the
Sunrise Absorbance Reader to use the above mentioned methods.

Note

If the Sunrise Absorbance Reader or Magellan software

are modified in any way the instrument loses its guarantee

The operating authority must use only CE-labeled test kits for clinical
diagnostic applications. The operating authority must assure that the

combination of a particular CE-labeled test kit used with the CE-labeled

Sunrise Absorbance Reader as been validated according to the IVD

directive or to other relevant national or local regulations.

If the Sunrise Absorbance Reader is used with any other software other than
Magellan, additional validation must be carried out by the operating authority to
ensure the safety of the results. The operating authority is fully responsible for
any results obtained using software other than Magellan with the Sunrise
Absorbance Reader.
