AU5400 Chemistry System by Beckman Coulter

The AU5400 Chemistry System random access chemistry analyzer is the highest throughput analyzer from the Beckman Coulter AU family. It is available as a 2 or 3 photometric unit version including a single or double cell ISE unit. This results in throughput of up to 3200 or 4800 photometric tests/hr and up to 900 or 1800 ISE tests/hr respectively.

The AU5400 Chemistry System photometric units are user configurable to match local needs for test channels and throughput. The system offers real workstation consolidation with up to 99 different analytes available at any time.

Confident sampling operation and result generation is achieved via clot detection and crash prevention technology, state of the art washing stations, automatic checking of serum indices and the well established, sensitive, SPOT photometry system which provides optimum accuracy even at smallest sample and reagent volumes.

Hands on time is minimized by the inclusion of automatic sample predilution, auto repeat and auto reflex testing capabilities. The advanced calibration, which can store up to 5 calibration curves of different lots and reagent bottles, eliminates calibration activities during routine testing thus streamlining workflow.
