  • Barcoded Reagent and samples (option)
  • Primary tubes 5, 7, 10 ml

Useful Functions
  • Adaptive for various tube sizes (5,7,10 ml).
  • Auto-rerun with auto-dilution
  • 24 hours reagent tray cooling.
  • Real time QC
  • Thorough cuvette washing, using alkaline solution, acidic solution and heated water.
  • User Interface based on Windows 98
  • Bi-directional host communication
  • Re-suspension mixing for latex reagents
  • Preventative maintenance screen
  • Run Monitor
    At a glance you can see the progress of the analysis.
  • Calibration Screen
    Calibration results are confirmed graphically.

Air Pressure Mixing

  • No stirrer mixing gives no carry over
  • Smaller water consumption because of no stirrer washing
  • No dilution of reaction liquid caused by stirrer washing water
  • One air pressure source can drive multiple mixing unit. Multiple steps mixing is easily introduced.
  • Easy maintenance; just replace rubber gaskets

Cuvette

  • Properly developed for above mixing method
  • Special plastic is used to avoid carry over especially for Latex reagent
