Drew DS 360 : HbA1c measurement

The Drew DS360 is intended for the measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in blood samples.

The Drew DS360 is intended for the measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in blood samples. The system’s high throughput and automated primary tube sampling, low maintenance, easy to use interface and full color touch screen makes this an ideal addition for the main laboratory, clinic or satellite laboratory settings.

Reference method of ion-exchange HPLC
HbA1c results in 3.5 minutes
Immediate labile fraction removal with no need for external incubation
Simple to use with full color touch screen
36 position auto sampler
Detects presence of HbS, HbC and HbD
Optimized to minimize interference from carbamylation, lipemia and labile A1C

Erba XL 1000 : Product description

Automated High Throughput Random Access Analyzer, it offers continuous sample loading facility using racks.

Automated high throughput random access analyzer, it offers continuous sample loading facility using racks. Contrary to other automatic analyzers, the sample loading is automatic instead of manual thereby enhancing precision.

Throughput of upto 1040 tests/hour with ISE- 800 photometric tests/ hr and 240 tests/ hr with ISE
Permanent hard glass cuvettes – requiring no replacement for upto 4-5 years
Direct ISE measurement for Na/K/Cl/Li (optional)
Auto re-run, auto dilution, reflex testing
Probes with clot detection & Vertical Obstruction Detection feature
Low reagent/test consumption -requires reagent volume of just 150 µL, thereby proving to be cost effective for laboratories
Extensive Quality Control menu (L-J chart, twin plot, QC rules)
