Manufactured by Thermo Scientific, Indiko® Plus is a fully automated, sample-oriented random access analyzer for clinical and specialty chemistry testing, including enzymes, substrates, electrolytes, specific proteins, therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs of abuse and immunosuppressant drug tests. This fully-automated random access benchtop system offers optimal operational excellence for small- and medium-sized laboratories.
Along with system reagents and consumables, this unit forms a fully supported, complete system solution. Its unique, low-volume cuvette design guarantees small reagent volumes, minimal amount of reagent waste, and thus low reagent costs.
Indiko Plus analyzer employs colorimetric end-point and kinetic as well as turbidimetric and bichromatic reactions with or without sample blanking. Its optional ISE unit uses ion selective electrodes for sodium, potassium and chloride measurements. ISE and photometric tests can be run simultaneously from a single sample.
It also features
- Intuitive user interface that manages the daily workload fluently
- Automated clot detection
- Built-in real-time QC program
- Full traceability of calibration and reagent lot data
- Bi-directional LIS connection
- Ready-to-use, maintenance-free electrodes
- Optimized, liquid system reagents
- Automated real-time monitoring of reagent usage and expiry date
- Continuous access to samples, reagents and cuvettes without interrupting test processing
- Automatic identification via internal barcode reader
- Clearly displayed real-time reagent volume and remaining test capacity
- Up to four reagent additions per test
The analyzer is self-contained with no need for external water or drainage connections, which makes it quick and easy to install. Its fully validated and supported application protocols provide traceable results. Indiko Plus also has a sample disk for up to 108 samples: 9- or 18-position sample racks, max 6 racks. The reagent disk in this analyzer has positions for 42 reagents. When purchasing such chemistry analyzers, consider choosing an experienced lab equipment supplier.
