- Target users: Small to medium-sized laboratories.
- Sample types: Whole blood, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine.
- Measured parameters: The device can measure various combinations of electrolytes, including:
- Sodium (Na)
- Potassium (K)
- Ionized Calcium (iCa)
- Chloride (Cl)
- Lithium (Li)
- pH
Key features
- Technology: Uses Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) technology for direct measurement.
- Efficiency: Provides results in as little as 50 seconds and can process up to 60 samples per hour.
- Cost-effective: The snap-in electrode design and precise control of calibrator volumes help ensure economical operation.
- Ease of use: The device is semi-automatic and includes features like an alphanumeric keypad for data entry and an automated cleaning system.
- Low maintenance: Electrodes are maintenance-free, and regular upkeep is limited to replacing the reagent pack and pump tube.
