Electrolyte analyzers are used to measure electrolyte levels in the human body, which helps detect metabolic imbalances and measure renal and cardiac function. Medica Corporation's EasyLyte® is a completely automated, microprocessor-controlled electrolyte system that uses ISE (Ion Selective Electrode) technology to make electrolyte measurements. This analyzer incorporates state-of-the-art electronics and an innovative ergonomic design that differentiates it significantly from competitors. Modular design makes the analyzer simple, fast and easy to operate, maintain, and integrate into the lab workflow.
This Medica analyzer measures combinations of Na+, K+, Cl-, Li+, Ca++, and pH in whole blood, serum, plasma, or urine. It is available in four models:
- EasyLyte Na+/K+
- EasyLytePLUS Na+/K+/Cl-
- EasyLyteLithium Na+/K+/Li+
- EasyLyteCalcium Na+/K+/Ca++/pH
EasyLyte® calculates and stores complete statistics for monthly quality-control results. Samples can be analyzed from vacutainers, sample cups, capillaries, and syringes. The analyzer also stores quality-control data that is easily accessible. Patient histories are immediately retrievable for evaluation. Routine maintenance is limited to the replacement of a single reagent pack and electrodes, and a single pump tube, all of which are easily accessible. Internal printer prints patient results, calibration values, quality control data, and results summaries, flagging abnormal results automatically in less than 60 seconds.
Other features
- Yes/no prompts that ensures error-free operation and rapid training
- Automatic probe wiping
- Modular, maintenance-free electrodes
- Disposable electrodes that require no maintenance
- Removable and disposable capillary sampler
- Data storage of patient results - up to 128 samples
- Storage of QC results - up to 20 each Normal, Low, and High
This electrolyte analyzer comes with a self-contained solutions pack that contains liquid calibrants and collects all waste, eliminating sample contact. The modular EasySampler that connects quickly to the EasyLyte Na/K, Na/K/Cl, and Na/K/Li analyzers enhance laboratory performance. The EasySampler features 21 sample positions, a dedicated Stat position, normal/abnormal QC positions, and optional auto-repeat of out-of-range values.
The analyzer's software computes quality control statistics, flags abnormal results, and monitors performance. Ease of operation is ensured with two-button operation, automatic calibration, and a user-friendly menu. Buying electrolyte analyzers from an established online lab equipment store will ensure the best prices as well as dedicated maintenance support.
