Thermostatic carousel set at 37°C with 90 positions for the reaction cuvettes

 

8. WASHING MODULE

Four washers for washing magnetic particles.

 

9. DISPENSING NEEDLE

Washing system with decontamination solution.

 

 

FleXIBILITY

Differential testing, different combinations, different moments for testing.

• Patient specific test profiles.
• Various operation modes: random access, batch and STAT.
• Continuous loading of samples and barcode identification of sample reagents.
• Specific pre-dilution protocols for single sample/analyte, automatic dilution of out of range samples, on board pre-treatment of samples.
• On board storage of refrigerated reagents.

RELIABILITY

Accurate and reproducible results thanks to the CLIA (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay) methos, which uses coated micro-particles with a large and consistent coating area.

• Automatic pre-schedule specificanalyte calibration, fortnightly or three-weekly re-calibration, and recalibration at each lot change.
• 2 calibrators.
• Disposable cuvettes.
• Dispensing needle washing with decontaminating reagent.

Efficiency

Compact, quick, walk-away system that fully automates testing of a wide range of parameters.

• Best analytical output: 120 tests/hour.
• First result in 25 minutes.
• Cube containing up to perform over 1000 tests.
• Ready to use reagents for 50/100 tests.

Easy to use

The increasing need to optimize resource utilization requires:

• A compact, benchtop design and intuitive user interface. Interactive management of reagent and ancillary stock.
• LIS compatibility, remote maintenance connection, on-line upgrading.
• Full traceability of samples, reagents and operators.

The TGS TA system meets all the above quality requirements.
