CLINICAL CHEMISTRY

Chemistry systems use electrochemical detection and chemical reactions with patient samples to detect and quantify substances of diagnostic interest (referred to as “analytes”) in blood, urine and other body fluids. Commonly performed tests include glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, electrolytes, proteins and enzymes.

With a wide range of features, the Beckman Coulter chemistry platforms deliver low total cost of ownership supported by proven uptime, scalability and use of fewer consumables. Improved clinical effectiveness and patient care are achieved through a broad menu offering of Six-Sigma quality assays and consistent high rankings in reliability and service.


AU480 Chemistry Analyzer


Compact, reliable and cost-effective


The AU480 chemistry analyzer is the ideal primary chemistry analyzer for low- to mid-volume hospitals and laboratories, or dedicated specialty chemistry or STAT analyzer for larger laboratories. With throughput of up to 400 photometric tests per hour (up to 800 with ISEs), increased onboard testing, reduced sample volume and easy operation, the AU480 delivers unrivaled efficiency.

With a load capacity of 80 samples (8 racks x 10 samples) and 22 samples by carousel, the AU480 is ideal for low volume sites such as Physician Office Laboratories, Hospital Laboratories and Integrated Delivery Networks where annual volumes range from 50,000 to 350,000 tests per year.


DxC 700 AU Chemistry Analyzer


Timely results, time-proven technologies


The DxC 700 AU clinical chemistry analyzer is the latest innovation in a line of reliable chemistry systems for the mid- to high-volume laboratory. The DxC 700 AU combines the best-loved (and time-tested) features of the popular DxC and AU series of clinical chemistry analyzers. This powerful combination delivers maximal uptime, high reliability and precise performance.

With a load capacity of 150 samples (15 racks x 10 samples) and 22 samples by carousel, the DxC 700 AU is ideal for mid-volume sites such as Core Laboratories, Hospital Laboratories and Integrated Delivery Networks where annual volumes range from 350,000 to 1,500,000 tests per year.


AU5800 Series Clinical Chemistry Analyzers


The fastest full-menu clinical chemistry analyzers


Designed for ultra-high-volume laboratories, the AU5800 series clinical chemistry analyzers are the fastest in the industry, processing up to 2,000 tests per hour with a full menu of assays, including Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and Drugs of Abuse. These analyzers increase lab productivity with continuous operation, offer powerful throughput and allow for scalable capacity of up to four modules.

With a load capacity of 400 samples (2 x 20 rack set), the AU5800 is ideal for high and ultra-high sites such as Core Laboratories, Reference Laboratories and Hospital Laboratories where annual volumes range from 1,500,000 to 6,500,000 and more tests per year.
