Standardization

• Only Beckman Coulter standardizes chemistry testing from 400 to 6,600 tests per hour for low to very high volume laboratories. This translates to higher productivity, increased efficiency and greater cost savings for your lab. 

  Fast and Reliable Turnaround Times 

• Up to 1600 photometric tests per hour and up to 2133 tests per hour with electrolytes 

• Immediate STAT interrupt with HCFA basic metabolic eight test panel results available within five minutes 

  Walk Away Design Saves Operator Time 

• 300-sample rack loading for peak workloads 

• 22-sample carousel for STAT 

• Direct tube sampling for 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10.0 mL primary tubes and pediatric cups 

• Mixed bar code capability 

• Automated reflex and repeat testing 

• Automated pre-dilution for urine and other specimens 

• Easy connectivity for automation 

  Automated Reagent Handling 

• Reagents are liquid and ready-to-use 

• Barcoded cartridges provides on-board management (random placement, on-board stability and calibration tracking) 

• All 48 R1 and 48 R2 reagent positions are open for third-party reagent use 

• Auto-calibration and auto-quality control 

• Automatic changeover from empty to fresh bottle 

• Multiple sized reagent cartridges hold from 100 to 6000+ tests to meet the needs of any size laboratory 

• Minimal reaction volume of 120 µL reduces reagent consumption 

• Reagent inventory tracking function predicts daily workloads 

  Efficient Review of Results
