Description
Beckman Coulter / Olympus AU480 Chemistry Analyzer
The AU480 chemistry analyzer is the ideal main analyzer for small- to medium-sized laboratories/Hospitals, with a throughput of up to 800 tests per hour with ISE and simultaneous programming for up to 63 different analytes. The Olympus AU 480 chemistry analyzer can be used as a special chemistry or STAT analyzer in any laboratory.
Robust testing capabilities
- Broaden your test offerings with more than 120 different Beckman Coulter system reagent applications available
- Conduct quick priority testing using the AU 480 clinical chemistry analyzer’s STAT wheel
- Turn around critical samples fast with sample pre-dilution and auto-repeat of over-range results
Efficient reagent and consumable use
- Minimize hands-on time and reduce daily reagent inventory tasks with ready-to-use liquid concentrated reagents
- Experience lower total cost of ownership with low consumable requirements
Convenient operational features
- Provide the right operator support when needed using context-sensitive help screens and instructional videos
- Simplify operations with user-friendly graphical user interface design and touch-screen monitor
- Reduce tech-to-tech variation and achieve consistent result quality with AU family of chemistry analyzers’ standardized processes
