This clinical chemistry analyzer helps laboratories meet ever-increasing pressures on time and productivity with ease. The AU680 can be operated as a standalone system or connected to laboratory automation and IT solutions. With throughput of up to 800 photometric tests per hour (up to 1,200) and 63 onboard parameters, this chemistry analyzer delivers field-proven reliability and efficiency.
TheAU680 Chemistry System performs automated analysis of serum, urine, other fluids, and whole blood. The benefits of the system are:
- Improved user convenience including automation options: The AU680 Chemistry System is operated through a new and highly intuitive graphical user interface, including embedded videos to support key maintenance steps. 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.
- Extended analytical reach: The Triple reagent dispensing of AU680 enables the chemistry system to perform assays requiring up to three separate reagents, which enhances analytical performance and opens up new possibilities for current and future assays.
- Reduced operating costs: Operating costs are reduced by eliminating the need for multiple calibrators via "Plug and Play" calibration using 2D barcodes.
