With throughput of up to 800 photometric tests per hour (up to 1,200 with ISEs), this chemistry analyzer delivers field-proven reliability and efficiency to laboratories around the world. Designed to help medium to high throughput laboratories meet ever increasing pressures on time and productivity, the AU680 analyzer is operated through a new and highly intuitive graphical user interface, including embedded videos to support key maintenance steps. Its intuitive graphical user interface includes sample tracking, patient statistics, user-customized menu and color alerts to highlight system operating conditions. Other feature include:
- High-precision micro sampling that provides accurate and precise results
- Priority sample repeat/reflex that reduces turnaround time for critical patients
- Long-lasting ISEs to minimize downtime and reduce operating costs
- Large 150-sample rack loader provides for optimal sample processing during peak workload periods
- Whole blood sampling capability for HbA1c testing
- Clot detection and crash prevention for sample and reagent dispenser
High-precision micro sampling provides accurate and precise results and flexibility is assured with a menu capacity of up to 63 different assays on board. A new special priority lane performs re-runs quickly. To increase automation levels, samples can be loaded via a new standardized rack tray for direct transfer from the Beckman Coulter AutoMate 2500 peri-analytical workstation.
The AU680 measures analytes in samples in combination with appropriate reagents, calibrators, quality control (QC) material, and other accessories. Integration of pre-analytical automation and immunoassay is attainable with AU680 Direct Track Sampling to Power Processor and connectivity to UniCel DxI 600/800 systems. Established lab equipment suppliers also offer refurbished models of this analyzer at a great price in their online stores.
