Precision Sampling

Liquid level capacity detection for accurate sampling : 2-6 µL for most tests
Clot detection
Probe crash prevention
Peak workloads with 300 sample load for extended walk-away time

Continuous feed rack loader
Easy connectivity for automation
“Flex” racks accommodate mix of tube sizes
Flexible sample handling

Mixed barcode feature
Variety of tube sizes
Automated repeat testing (with optional unit) for abnormal sample results eliminates hands-on sample reprocessing
Pre-dilution for urines
Antigen check for prozone (e.g., myelomas)
Automated reagent handling

Reagents are liquid and ready-to-use
Reagent pipetting system eliminates priming
Multiple sized reagent cartridges hold from 100 to 6000+ tests to meet the needs of any size laboratory
Barcoded cartridges provide on-board management (random placement, on-board stability and calibration tracking)
Automatic changeover from empty to fresh bottle
Calibrate up to 5 sets of reagent cartridges at one time
All 48 reagent positions per analyzer module are open for third-party reagent use
Minimal reaction volume of 120 µL reduces reagent consumption
Reagent inventory tracking function predicts daily workloads
