Description

EasyRA Analyzer - LIS, PRINTER

• 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 10415 (No ISE, with Printer)

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
