Great instrument!
Application Area: Analyze serum proteins in human diseases for biomarker discovery
"The analyzer can run 700 tests per hour. Has reduced my hands on time to minimum. The main plus of working with this is that it is a clinically approved instrument so all the discoveries can be taken directly to clinics. On top of this the reproducibility and traceability are dependable. It is robustly built, no breakdowns or anything like that. Service and maintenance from Beckman is top notch."

Wish we had another analyzer.
Application Area:Chemisty analyzer
"This analyzer works okay; but the daily maintenance is very time consuming and chemistries can not be done while maintenance is performed."

I would highly recommend the AU480 for small and mid-sized labs.
Application Area:Drugs of Abuse preliminary testing
"I love this analyzer! My background is with Siemens analyzers so it took some time getting used to the AU software. It is user-friendly and for the most part the maintenance is easy to perform. Hotline response is very good and I have only had a few problems over the past year."

I would highly recommend this instrument for small and mid sized labs.
Application Area:Clinical Laboratory
"I have been a Beckman Olympus user for over 10 years. We upgraded to the newer AU480 model 2 years ago. I find this instrument very reliable, and it is a work horse. Very little downtime. Maintenance is easy and the instrument is very user friendly. I would highly recommend."

Good analyzer, but improve on the HgA1C testing
Application Area:Hemoglobin A1C Testing
"AU 480 analyzer is good, but when it comes to testing HgA1C, it becomes such a difficult analyzer. As a matter of fact, I have had some instances where it produced a different result, making it unreliable for A1C testing. Again, adding the hemolyzing reagent makes it very troubling for me. I wish patient specimen could be tested without the hemolyzing reagent. Other than the concern above, the analyzer is super!"

"I love, love, love this analyzer! The software took some getting used to, but I can't believe how user-friendly it is! Maintenance is extremely easy. I have had very few problems in the last 2 years I have had this- a call to Hotline is usually all it takes- I only see my Service Guru for the regularly scheduled PMs. "
