The Olympus AU 640 analyser system

includes the ability to simplify all analytical stages with online predilution and incorporates quality checks, for example for lipaemia, icterus and haemolysis.

Optimised workflow is the key to the answer to these needs. Optimised workflow means workstation consolidation on a highly reliable system platform

A logical system that aids training of all staff so that the system can be used 24 hours per day by staff from a variety of backgrounds. A common user interface that means if you use one of our systems you can use them all.
workflow is not restricted to analysis, it

Last but not least your future system should be prepared for lab automation as an open platform.

Optimum accuracy

Olympus spot photometry system

The unique Olympus spot photometer in combination with the interference free fibre optic data transfer system gives results which are unmatched in terms of accuracy and precision. Only the combination of both technologies enables the Olympus AU 640 to combine micro reaction volumes with high throughput. The result is a system unmatched in its ability to provide effective analysis that matches your organisation and budget needs.

Wo r k s t a t i o n c o n s o l i dation to minimise overall hands on time as much as 51 different analytes which can be processed simultaneously and a throughput of up to 1200 results/hr the AU 640 is the real platform for workstation consolidation. Hands on time is further reduced when the system is operated in the AutoRerun mode. This user defined mode enables flexible rules to be applied to samples that require further study including Reflex tests or sample re-analysis with the same, reduced or even increased volume ensuring optimum analysis condition for that test.

Olympus AU 640 liquid handling components

A t Olympus we recognise the importance of producing valid results and interpreting these data accurately for your clinical colleagues. The AU 640 incorporates the ability to recognise interferences that may effect the validity of the data. This alone is not enough and that is why we at Olympus design total systems, a part of which is the design of reagents with advanced characteristics to reduce or eliminate the effect of interferents. The result is to remove hands on time and greatly improve e f f i c i e n c y.

T he combination of computer controlled pipetting speed and a highly efficient triple wash station eliminates any contamination. In addition to this the AU 640 includes clot detection and incorporates probe anti crash systems to avoid invalid test results.

can be loaded at any time on the same r o t o r, s a m p l e I D i s r e c o gnised via an internal bar c o d e r e a d e r. Trouble free maintenance maintenance requirements of the AU 640 are reduced to a minimum. This is the result of both hardware and software design being totally systemised with Olympus system reagent usage. The analyser software monitors functions and automates processes taking advantage of the unique benefits supported by the use of permanent cuvettes in the Olympus dry bath system. Our reagents are optimised for best performance on the new platform of Olympus analysers. Ease of use as maxim AU 640 user interface is designed to minimise any training requirements. The user is linked in all cases to a context specific help function within the AU 640 software. The users ability to define the format of the touch screen removes unwanted icons during routine, thus further e n h a n c i n g e f f i c i e n c y. support and troubleshooting are avail-

Olympus system reagents analytical unit itself is only one component of a system solution. Q u a l i t y, c o s t s a n d e a s e o f use are effected greatly by reagents as well. Therefore Olympus Diagnostica has developed a complete range of system reagents specially designed to match our new AU 400/600/640 system platform requirements. Over 90 different applications already available, additional tests are under development. Olympus system reagents are designed and manufactured under ISO 9001 certified processes for continuous quality improvement liquid stable for convenient handling ready to use to minimise handling errors barcoded for a positive reagent ID configured in pack sizes for differing usage requirements exhibit extended on board stability to avoid any waste
