The analyzer features random access, a built-in printer, sample ID capability, optional barcode scanner, and QC and patient data storage. Results are available in 30 minutes, with a 15-minute prediction mode. Data can be downloaded to a laboratory information system.
Randox received FDA clearance for the latest edition to the RX series, the RX daytona+, a fully automated, random access, bench-top analyzer, capable of running 270 photometric tests per hour or 450 with the optional ISE unit. The instrument offers features normally found on larger analyzers, such as STAT sampling, clot detection, low water consumption, easy-to-use Windows-based software, and dual 5-speed stirrers to optimize assay performance. Its comprehensive and flexible test menu allows the consolidation of a wide range of routine and esoteric tests including routinely run chemistries, specific proteins, and therapeutic drugs and drugs-of-abuse on one easy-to-use platform.
The ACE Axcel is the third generation chemistry analyzer from Alfa Wassermann. Designed to meet the needs of the POL, it has been cleared by the FDA specifically for use in physician office labs. The ACE Axcel has touch screen functionality, an intuitive user interface, and Internet connectivity. A self-contained system with a small footprint, the Axcel can process up to 285 tests per hour. It can run any combination of single tests, panels, or profiles and has an open reagent system that enables custom assays. A STAT interrupt feature allows users to load and prioritize STAT samples during system operation to meet immediate diagnosis and treatment needs. Closed-tube sampling with the STEP module minimizes operator interaction with patient specimens, making for a safer workplace.
A fast system for high-volume laboratories with a throughput of up to 2,400 tests per hour, the ADVIA Chemistry XPT System achieves predictable turnaround times through a combination of micro-volume technology and aliquot retention. Sample aliquots are readily available onboard for testing and retesting; there is no need to return the tube to the system. The system also includes VeriSmart Technology, a combination of hardware and software checks to help ensure high-quality results. The ADVIA Chemistry XPT System is automation-ready, requiring no additional robotics, and utilizes point-in-space technology, allowing for sampling directly from the automation track.
The AU5800 series of clinical chemistry systems is designed for high-volume hospital and commercial reference laboratories. The system has random access capabilities and throughputs ranging from 2,000 to 9,800 tests per hour. The AU5800 series offers standardized analytical platforms, multiple configurations ranging from one to four analyzer units, and a choice of single or dual ISE flow cell(s). Along with an intuitive graphical user interface, precision micro-sampling, and high capacity rack trays holding a total of 400 samples to maximize walk-away capability, the AU5800 also features three lanes to transport racks—including a bypass lane with STAT capability.
Sebia’s automated instrument utilizes capillary separation technology, providing clear-cut and precise separation for the next generation in HbA1c testing. The Minicap Flex Piercing system offers a flexible platform system with a small footprint to meet the needs of low- to mid-volume laboratories. Testing includes HbA1c analysis, traditional protein electrophoresis, immunotyping, CDT, and hemoglobinopathy/thalassemia testing. The ergonomic design allows for simplified operation and reliability. The Minicap Flex Piercing system comes with PHORESIS software.
The Sysmex DI-60 integrated cell image analyzer provides complete automation of manual WBC differential processes. Integrated CBC analysis, slide preparation, slide staining, and digital image pre-classification of cells in a complete work cell. Automated cell image analysis provides a more standardized differential result and extensive network connectivity.
The ACL TOP family, including ACL TOP 500 CTS for medium-to high-volume routine and specialty testing, is a complete line of Hemostasis testing systems—designed with the same high standards of operation and functionality for hospitals and labs of any size or scope. The systems features include: continuous operation, with access to samples, reagents and cuvettes at any time; STAT samples introduced at any time, in any position; barcoded reagents for safe and fully automated materials management; and onboard QC package. The ACL TOP also has a fully automated rerun, reflex, and factor parallelism testing feature along with a results management and auto-validation program.
The BioPlex 2200 system is a fully automated, random access, multiplex testing platform. The new BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG kits incorporate unique bead technology for high throughput sample processing and excellent clinical performance. The key diagnostic tests, tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) and deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP), are multiplexed together in two test kits for the simultaneous measurement of IgA or IgG auto antibodies. With the novel IgA verification bead (AVB), the BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA kit aids in accurately identifying celiac patients with low level of IgA.
The BS-200 is a bench-top, discrete, and random access clinical chemistry analyzer with 200 tests per hour; effective for small laboratories, used as a main instrument, or medium/big laboratories, utilized as a back-up instrument. The FDA-cleared model provides laboratories with a broad chemistry assay menu and real-time sample reaction status. The BS-200 has the ability to analyze up to 330 tests per hour with ISE (K, Na & Cl). The analyzer has a 24-hour refrigeration sample/reagent carousel, built-in bar code scanner, and bi-directional LIS interface. The device features pre-dilution and post-dilution for samples, an independent mixing stirrer, and disposable cuvettes.
