Olympus AU640e Chemistry Immuno Analyzer

The AU640e is designed for the demanding environments of mid-sized to large laboratories and hospitals. Automate and consolidate chemistry-immuno testing with the AU640e’s field-proven reliability and Olympus’ 125 test menu, including chemistries, special chemistries, urine chemistry, specific proteins, esoteric chemistries and tests for therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs-of-abuse, and thyroid function. With random access throughput of up to 800 photometric tests per hour (up to 1200 with electrolytes), on-board menu of 51 tests and user-definable sample handling options, the AU640e delivers efficiency for real world lab needs.

Standardization

* Only Olympus standardizes chemistry immuno testing from 400 to 6,600 tests per hour for low to very high volume laboratories. This translates to higher productivity, increased efficiency and greater cost savings for your lab.

Fast and reliable turnaround times

* Up to 800 photometric tests per hour and up to 1200 tests per hour with electrolytes
* Immediate STAT interrupt with HCFA basic metabolic eight test panel results available within five minutes

Walk away design saves operator time

* 150-sample rack loading for peak workloads
* 22-sample carousel for STAT
* Direct tube sampling for 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10.0 mL primary tubes and pediatric cups
* Mixed bar code capability
* Automated reflex and repeat testing
* Automated pre-dilution for urine and other specimens
* Easy connectivity for automation

Automated reagent handling

* Olympus reagents are liquid and ready-to-use
* Barcoded cartridges provides on-board management (random placement, on-board stability and calibration tracking)
* All 48 R1 and 48 R2 reagent positions are open for third-party reagent use
* State-of-the-art Advanced Calibration stores up to 5 calibration curves per test
* Reagent Inventory predicts shortfalls by comparing on-board reagent versus average daily workloads
* Automatic changeover from empty to fresh bottle
* Multiple sized reagent cartridges hold from 100 to 6000+ tests to meet the needs of any size laboratory

Efficient review of results

* Choice of QC trending: Westgard multi-rule procedure, Twin plots, Levey-Jennings daily and day-to-day plots
* Search function to retrieve data by individual sample and type of test (up to 30,000 patient files)
* User-definable flags for abnormal results

Precision engineering for reliability and accuracy

* Capacitance liquid level detection to ensure accurate pipetting for reagents and specimens
* Clot detection and crash prevention for probes
* Exclusive spot photometric technology for precision optics

User-friendly Windows NT® software simplifies training and operation
