Automated biochemistry analyzer AU5800 Series

integrated systemmodularphotometric

Overview
The AU5800 Series clinical chemistry analyzers are designed for high- and ultra high-volume hospital, reference and core laboratories. The modular system delivers photometric throughput across four models and supports a full assay menu including TDM and drugs-of-abuse testing. Scalable architecture permits up to four analytical modules to match growing workload requirements.

Key features

• High throughput: photometric processing from 2,000 to 8,000 tests/hour depending on model
• Continuous operation with minimal downtime and fast field-replaceable components (sample/reagent probes, mixer bars, ISE, syringes) replaceable in ≤60 seconds
• Routine maintenance procedures designed for quick execution to minimize startup time
• Modular, scalable design: increase capacity by adding up to four analytical modules
• Intelligent sample management system optimizing rack processing, supporting STAT priority testing and auto-repeat of abnormal results
• Integration options with pre-analytical automation, immunoassay systems and laboratory information systems

Continuous operation and maintenance

• Field-replaceable components (sample and reagent probes, mixer bars, ISE, syringes) can be replaced in no more than three steps (≤60 seconds) to minimize downtime
• Routine maintenance workflows are simplified to reduce startup time and maintain continuous laboratory throughput

Scalable workflow

• Modular AU5800 design enables incremental capacity increases according to volume needs
• Connect up to four analytical modules to expand throughput and reagent capacity
• Intuitive daily management procedures for laboratory technologists streamline operations
