Medica EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer - LIS, & ISE DOM

Description

Medica EasyRA Analyzer - LIS, & ISE DOM

Block Scientific offers the new upgraded Medica EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer with enhanced throughput to meet the changing demands in the clinical laboratory. The upgraded EasyRA analyzer provides reliable test results at almost twice the speed of current models.

Now you can provide clinicians with drugs of abuse testing and routine wellness testing on a single, simple, easy-to-use bench top analyzer.

The synergy between the launch of the drugs of abuse test menu with the high speed EasyRA analyzer (150 – 180 drug screening tests per hour or up to 240 routine chemistries/hour) allows you to market towards laboratories testing up to 50 or more drug screening panels/day or 70 CMPs/day.

• Increased throughput up to 240 samples/hour depending on the tests assayed.
• Faster cycle time for inventories, pipetting and fluid handling.

• No changes to spare parts/consumables for the end user.
• Maintenance schedules are almost identical. Waste tubing maintenance schedule reduced from 6 to 4 months.
• Limited changes to existing reagents. BUN, GGT and ALP parameters have been slightly modified to improve performance on all models.
• Minimal hardware changes. No additional service training required.

• Track different analyzer versions by serial number: Higher speed analyzers have an 11-digit serial number versus 8-digits for the current versions.
• No changes to analyzer catalog (REF) numbers. REF 10400 (with ISE, No Printer) will be referring to the higher speed analyzer.

Benefits of moderately complex drug screening on the EasyRA analyzer

• Fully automated enhancing efficiency
• Positive/negative results reported, no manual visual interpretations
• Reduce risk of transcription errors with automated data entry and bidirectional LIS communication
• Give clinicians more control by allowing them to run individual analytes of interest
• Single platform for drugs of abuse in urine and routine chemistries
