Technical Specifications
Product Specifications
Description Integrated chemistry and immunoassay analyzer. Chemistry and immunoassay technologies share
no major components to help maximize test throughput while minimizing laboratory footprint.
Test Throughput Up to 1120 tests per hour (up to 600 photometric, 400 IMT, 120 immunoassay)
User Interface Integrated software with intelligent monitoring of supplies, consumables, and common laboratory
tasks from the home screen dashboard. User interface includes onboard tools to assist with
laboratory accreditation and simplifies training to optimize the user experience with guided
workflows, lab evaluation suite, and customizable dashboard.
Walkaway Time 2 hours

Sample Handling
Validated Sample Types Serum, plasma, amniotic fluid, urine, whole blood (assay-specific), CSF, and other
Sample Integrity Control Liquid-level sensing, clot/clog detection, bubble detection, short-sample detection; hemolysis,
icterus, and lipemia
Auto-repeat Automatic repeat testing from the original and diluted samples
Sample Dilution Assay-dependent; can be auto-diluted and repeated when results extend linearity
Auto-reflex Testing Configurable; additional tests based on results of first test or test mix
Sample Carryover Prevention Chemistry uses precision wash system.
Immunoassay uses disposable sample tips to eliminate carryover.
Sample Volume per Test 2–100 μL of sample (varies by assay)
