Bench-top clinical chemistry analyzer offers fast throughput


The Altair 240 clinical chemistry analyzer is a fully automated bench-top platform that is cost-effective, easy to learn, operate and maintain. Compact, reliable and random access, the analyzer is supported by a broad range of bar-coded, liquid stable, ready-to-use Stanbio Chemistry reagents for routine and special chemistries. With positions for 43 reagents, the ability to configure open channels for esoteric testing, as well as STAT interruption permitted, the analyzer provides a flexible and comprehensive solution. This means it can be used as either a main or back-up analyzer, improving productivity in both the hospital and physician’s office laboratory environments.

Highly efficient, the analyzer can run up to 400 tests per hour with an optional ISE module. Dual reagent probes translate to higher throughput and faster patient turn-around times. Operating cost efficiencies are also realized through an integrated cuvette washing station, enabling the reuse of cuvettes; as well as continual 24-hour on-board cooling, which ensures most reagents have a 30-day on board stability to minimize waste.
