A well-established value-for-money reputation
The Advia Centaur XPT gives small to medium-sized labs a well-established return on investment.
Monthly Maintenance Time Per Year
Most labs use it to increase testing volume over previous generations of Advia Centaur while reducing the overall number of analyzers in the lab:
- Reducing maintenance time.
- Reducing staff requirements.
- Reducing reagent volume (and expenses).
More time on tests. Less time on service.
"The ADVIA Centaur XPT System exceeded our expectations. Furthermore, we could reduce the monthly maintenance by 12 hours per year and operator maintenance time by 60%. We did not need any unscheduled technical support visits over the course of the first year of operation"
Dr. Roberto Rosso
ASST Ovest Milano
Laboratory Supervisor
Ospedale di Magenta
No more sample shortfalls
The nurse, phlebotomist, or other medical staff don't always collect an ideal sample.
The Advia Centaur XPT requires smaller sample volumes than comparable analyzers, so your operators almost never have to request recollection.
Where do you get your reagents?
Most labs save 10-15% on Advia Centaur XPT reagents when they partner with us.
You can see your total cost in 90 minutes today and make an informed decision.
Other suppliers use tiered pricing to give the biggest brands the biggest discounts because of their purchasing volume. We don’t do that. Instead, every customer and labs of every size get the same deals. It’s pricing 9 out of 10 labs couldn’t qualify for anywhere else.
