Carolina Liquid Chemistries expands line of chemistry analyzers for clinical laboratories

Carolina Liquid Chemistries Corp. (CLC) recently expanded their branded line of chemistry analyzers. The company, known for providing clinical laboratories with instruments and reagents to run over 80 different tests to diagnose and treat patients, now offers the CLC720. The CLC720 meets the needs of a mid-volume clinical laboratory, while offering innovative technologies.

The CLC720 produces up to 400 photometric tests and 240 ISE tests per hour with an overall throughput up to 560 tests per hour. Advanced features of the CLC720 include numerous automatic processes such as: Pre-dilution, post-dilution, QC, rerun, probe cleaning, reagent blank checks, and probe collision recovery. The automatic ISE calibration feature provides the operator with flexibility in setting the time that ISE calibration should occur. All this along with the CLC720’s ease of maintenance saves time and cost, while increasing productivity.

“The CLC720 makes a great addition to our product offering. We now offer the CLC480 bench-top for smaller clinical laboratories, the CLC6410 for large core and reference labs and now the CLC720 for mid-volume labs”, states Phil Shugart, CEO. “Our product line is incredibly flexible. If you are looking to start a lab, update a chemistry analyzer or if you’re an IDN or GPO trying to standardize and streamline, CLC has something new to offer”.

CLC offers the complete chemistry solution by providing instrumentation that range in throughput from 400 to 2000 tests per hour. The company’s extensive reagent line includes general chemistry tests in the comprehensive metabolic, lipid, liver, renal and electrolyte panels to special tests such as vitamin D, urine drug screens and more.
