An immunoassay analyzer is a critical tool in clinical settings to run automated biochemical tests to detect the presence and concentration of substances in the samples. In clinical laboratories, these analyzers are used to detect a variety of substances, including infectious diseases, cardiac markers, endocrine hormone testing, proteins, and for viral or bacterial determination, in a patient's biological sample such as blood or body fluid. Advanced immunoassay systems with superior capabilities are now available in the market. Manufactured by Siemens, the high-performance ADVIA Centaur® XP system has more onboard reagents and dedicated STAT capabilities to maximize productivity, regardless of volume or types of tests.
With a high throughput of up to 240 tests per hour, this unit keeps pace with peak workload times. Its comprehensive diagnostic testing covers screening, diagnosis, risk assessment and monitoring. Always ready, it offers continuous operation without interruption.
This immunoassay system features:
- 30 onboard reagents that maximize test capacity
- High-resolution touch screen for easy interaction
- Expanded ancillary reagent and fluid capacity
- Intuitive software for ease of operation
- STAT port guarantees priority sampling at any time
- Data archive reduces administrative tasks
- Universal sample rack design that eliminates manual tasks
- Disposable pipette tips eliminate sample-to-sample carryover
- Automatic dilution, repeat and reflex testing
The unit's Smart Algorithm Software automatically repeats and confirms reactive testing. Its data archive feature reduces time for administrative tasks. It is recommended that the productivity can be increased by connecting to Siemens' Aptio™ Automation, ADVIA® Automation, StreamLAB® Automation or VersaCell® Solutions.
Reliable lab equipment dealers also offer refurbished models of this analyzer usually with 90 days parts warranty. Refurbished devices are an ideal solution for laboratories with budget constraints, as they can acquire advanced devices without huge capital investments. When choosing an immunoassay analyzer, make sure to consider the types of tests and reagents needed, whether automatic repeat and dilution are required, and the speed at which the tests can be completed.
