Haematology Analyzer - Sysmex KX 21

This machine analyzes blood and gives information about Total Leuco Cytes (TLC) count, Haemoglobin, total Red Blood Cell (RBC) count, Haematocrit, Platelets count, etc.It gives 20 parameters including RBC distribition.

COBAS MIRA by ROCHE

The Roche Cobas Mira is a bench top, random access analyzer. This system allows for the selective analysis of chemistries in either a routine or STAT mode. Testing sequence is by patient rather than test (batch). The optional ISE module for sodium, potassium and chloride determinations expand the capabilities of the instrument.

The Roche Cobas Mira is ideal in the laboratory situation where patient samples arrive throughout the day and night. With random access instrumentation, these samples may be placed on the analyzer and results will be available within minutes. With random access, samples do not have to be saved for a major run as with batch analyzers. STAT samples may be placed on the instrument at any time. Once the STAT has been completed, the Cobas Mira automatically returns to processing the routine samples.

Communication with the Roche Cobas Mira is done via the integrated control panel. Through the control panel the operator selects tests, reviews results and programs tests, profiles and system parameters. Other features of the Roche Cobas Mira include; a throughput of 140 tests/hr, microprocessor controlled XYZ pipetting system, 104 test channels including 23 preprogrammed methods and the capacity to hold 2100 patient results, capacity for 72 cuvettes (six 12 cuvette segments), cuvette volume of 150-600?L, and an analysis interval of 25 seconds. The system also includes a security system for laboratory-defined parameters. The instrument checks for the integrity of the cuvette, the rack reader, temperature, the monitor and printer.

IMX

The Abbott IMX system is a fully automated immunoassay analyzer designed to run assays using Enzyme Immunoassay and Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay technologies. The IMX system software provides you with the capability to run fully automated assays and multiple assays as well.

The IMX Unidirectional Interface, which is available with all versions of IMX System Software, interfaces the Abbott IMX System to a laboratory computer or host computer. As data is being printed on the IMX test results tape, the interface sends the data from the IMX to the host computer. The IMX system has six major subsystems which are; a dispense station, a reaction chamber, sensors and detectors, and operator control panel, software modules and a built-in printer. These subsystems are contained in the one-piece outer shell of the IMX called Enclosure Assembly. The IMX is capable of running tests such as those for Endocrine function, Diabetes, Fertility, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Kidney disease, Hepatitis, STDs, Transplant, Heart disease, Rubella, Thyroid and Congenital disease.The methodology is superior to traditional Eliza.
