Improve experimenter convenience and the reliability of results.
Rating: 3.3

  • Application Area:Instrument is used for clinical diagnostics of special proteins in human serum

"When using the equipment, it is inconvenient because the operating program cannot be easily accessed and viewed until reexamination. In some cases, the inspection date does not appear when printing data, which can confuse users. Convenient when adding samples. I wish there was a holder that could cover the entire rack where the sample is placed. I think it would be more convenient if the racks attached to the equipment were used in a single row in the future. Having to lift the waste water tank to empty it can cause musculoskeletal disorders, so a connection to the waste water line is necessary. I hope the acceptance criteria for calibration are clearly given. The height of the equipment is high, making it inconvenient to place it on the laboratory table and conduct experiments. We hope that the review of antigen excess will be strengthened and the reliability of results will increase."

Using Optilite for IgG Subclass Testing - my wise decision.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Special Protein Analyzer

"My lab has performed IgG subclass testing for a long time. In initial time, I used Mininepth from The Binding Site - a semi-automatic analyzer for the testing before moving to Optilite and I was convinced about its effectiveness absolutely. From now, I have used Optilite for more than 3 years and it can help the workflow in my lab fast, smooth and save time. Note that the analyzer fits your lab if your lab throughput is high. With my lab, at least 20 tests per day can help us keep the balance between the operating cost, reagent cost and profit of the testing. Analyzer: easy to use and maintain. Rarely meet an error regarding hardware and spare part. Reagent: stability time after opening a vial is 3 months, large measurement range. Cleansing chemicals are cheap and trivial."

Prozone effect and IgG subclass results
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Instrument is used for clinical diagnostic of special protein in human serum

"Although it is usefully used in the laboratory, issues such as the prozone effect occur occasionally. Also, feedback on the results of high IgG subclasses is needed."

In summary, efficiency and effectiveness are timely for patient outcomes
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area: Immunology

"The effectiveness of the reagent is good and stable. But some reagents expire in less than 6 months like CH50. The machine is easy to use, but the program is not flexible enough to increase lots of different reagents. Good after-sales service, come to service on time to maintain the machine. In terms of financial value, some reagents are expensive, such as freelitechain."

Would not purchase the Optilite
Rating: 3.0

  • Application Area:free light chains

"This system gives a lot of generic-looking error codes that must be interpreted by the user. Samples are run at multiple dilutions. The vendor states to report the result that makes the most sense and has not error code. However, sometimes there is not a result without an error code and the user is told to chose the one that makes the most sense. Other times, the error codes make no sense in light of what is obtained the "final" result with no error code. The previous SpaPlus system by the same manufacturer did not produce these codes. I would not call the Optilite an improvement, though it is sold as one."
