The ADVIA® 1800 Clinical Chemistry System pushes the limit of productivity. Its extensive menu allows integration of testing for clinical chemistry, drugs-of-abuse, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and specific proteins like Cystatin C and CardioPhase® hsCRP. The ADVIA 1800 Clinical Chemistry System offers:
- Throughput of up to 1,800 tests per hour provides speed to keep pace with workload peaks
- 200 basic metabolic panels per hour to meet turnaround-time demands
- Large onboard reagent capacity and optional concentrated reagents to reduce interruptions
- Optimal standardization of reagents and systems for efficient consumable usage
- Refrigerated onboard storage of controls and reagents for extended stability and increased productivity
- Automation ready design – no additional hardware required
Automation ready design
- Point-in-space aspiration offers connectivity to a track, VersaCell or rack handler without robotics or special hardware
- Redundant sample loading for built-in backup and easy handling of non-routine samples
- Direct sampling from track prevents detaining tubes at analyzer and reduces aliquoting
