Get reliable, proven backup for your primary analyzers
Maybe your lab runs 2+ AU5400 or 5800s to handle the majority of your tests.
On an average day, when both primary analyzers are running at full capacity, most common stat tests can be done quicker on your refurbished AU680.
Getting those stat tests done separately and quickly takes the burden off your shoulders. Gets results to patients or clinicians faster. And makes the lab run better.
But even large labs have to manage their expenses carefully. They have to be profitable.
You can get financing terms quickly with us. Then the increase in efficiency, reduced overall testing downtime, and increased stat patient throughput (coupled with the low purchase price of a refurbished chemistry analyzer) account for most of your payments.
The improvements in your lab pay for themselves.
Manage your capital equipment budget easily
Refurbished chemistry analyzers, like an AU680 or any other in the Beckman Coulter AU series, make it easier to manage your large expenses.
Your refurbished analyzers are returned to oem-or-better condition (because over the last 15 years, replacement parts have improved in quality).
You reduce the wear and tear on your primary analyzers. You reduce the cost of repairs.
You may extend the lifespan of your more expensive chemistry analyzers by 5+ years.
Make it easier to hire and retain new staff in California
Hiring new staff in your lab is challenging.
Experienced operators can step into any lab and quickly adapt. They can handle the steep learning curve of a new chemistry analyzer and get proficient fast.
But the pool of experienced operators is small.
So your lab spends a lot of time searching for them. And when you can’t find them, you spend a lot of time finding an acceptable candidate and training them up.
The time you put into that inexperienced candidate is risky.
-
- They might not be able to get a handle on the complexity of your primary analyzers.
- Training is expensive. It costs you and your experienced operators time. It costs money in errors and waste.
- After all your training, they may move on to a higher paying job. Leaving you to do it all again.
Hiring and onboarding new staff costs you close to $20,000.
Equipping your lab with a refurbished Beckman Coulter AU680 or other AU-series analyzer makes most of that hassle obsolete.
1. Because it’s been in circulation for more than 15 years, there’s a good chance that most inexperienced candidates have still used it. They’re likely even proficient using it.
2. Your training time is drastically reduced.
3. Their rate of errors is drastically reduced.
4. The oversight you have to give them in the first 9 months is drastically reduced.
It’s a bit like a babysitter for baby lab techs. But you don’t have to buy it pizza.
Shrink your cost per test this week
Contact us here with your testing volume.
We’ll send you a quote with your annual cost for reagents, whether your lab currently uses a Beckman Coulter AU680 or any other analyzer.
Can compare it to your expenses for last year to decide if it’s worth switching.
It will be.
Most suppliers won’t give small and medium-sized labs the most competitive pricing on reagents.
But we don’t discriminate.
You need reagents and you need to be frugal. Your existing supplier treats you like a number. We treat you like a partner.
Three ways to slash your cost per test
1. Increase efficiency and improve the way you handle stat tests (both of which you can do with a refurbished AU680).
2. Shrink the budget you spend on reagents by getting a better annual price from us.
3. Reduce your downtime for routine maintenance and unexpected breakdowns by working with IDE, your local California chemistry analyzer service provider.
Get personal, responsive service that values your time
How many times have you had to convince your service provider you need them
How often have they patronized you. Frustrated you. Treated you like you’re doing something wrong.
When you call us for service, you dont’ have to convince us about how you tried to fix it. You don’t have to convince us something is wrong.
Just call. Say you need us. And we’ll figure out the best way to fix your problem.
“If I’m working late and I suddenly have a problem with our main analyzer, it’s a nightmare. Out of the blue I’m the only tech having to draw blood, run on backup, and try to fix the main.”
It’s not your job to know how to fix your chemistry analyzer. You serve patients. You’re responsible for a huge volume of data.
We offer same-day phone support. So you never have to attempt a repair on your own. We’ll walk you through exactly what you need to do and we’ll stay on the line until you’re up and running.
That’s the work and the worry we take off your shoulders.
