Reliable results and ZERO downtimes!
Application Area: Analysis of coagulation factors
"The STA Compact Max from Diagnostical Stago is a hardy instrument that produces accurate and timely coagulation results with very little maintenance and downtime. Somewhat compact and self-contained, the footprint is manageable and it fits well into our workflow. The users all appreciate the simple maintenance and reagent management features. It's heavy and solid, but once in place it stays put."

The instrument it self is a workhorse, the Middleware still need improvement.
Application Area:Coagulation testing
"The instrument is easy to operate. The Middleware is not the as easy to operate. Way to many times to login. When you start the instrument you have to log into the Middleware 3 times then there is another login for the instrument itself. Windows 10 has the ability to print reports and other info messed up. Hopefully the programmers will get a fix soon."
