Fully automatic hemoglobin analyzer Hb9210 Premier

for clinical diagnosticbenchtopHPLC

Overview
The Hb9210 Resolution by A. Menarini Diagnostics is an ion-exchange HPLC analyzer designed for automated quantitation of HbA2 and HbF and for detection and characterization of common and rare hemoglobin variants. The system supports routine screening and confirmatory workflows with configurable run modes to meet clinical laboratory throughput and accuracy requirements.

Key Features

• Three selectable run modes: Quick Scan (QS), High Resolution (HR) and Reflex
• Fully automated, walk-away operation with STAT sample position
• Large high-resolution color touch screen with icon-based interface
• Extensive variant library and up to 20 peak codes for variant characterization
• Low sample volume options: direct injection or 1:150 hemolysate dilution

Available analysis modes

• Quick Scan (QS): 4.15-minute mode for rapid abnormal hemoglobin screening
• High Resolution (HR): 8.2-minute mode for detailed variant detection and identification
• Reflex: initial Quick Scan screening followed by confirmatory High Resolution analysis

Capacity & Workflow
Holds up to 210 samples in batch or continuous loading, plus a dedicated STAT position for urgent samples. Supports both direct injection and pre-diluted hemolysate workflows to accommodate laboratory preferences.

User interface
High-resolution color touch screen presents an intuitive, icon-driven interface for instrument operation, run setup, parameter adjustment and maintenance tasks to streamline daily use.

Library & Variant support
An extensive hemoglobin variant library provides reference chromatograms and retention data to assist chromatogram review and variant identification in clinical reporting.

Chromatograms / Illustrative outputs
Reference chromatograms are supplied for common variants and screening examples in both Quick Scan and High Resolution modes to support interpretation and result validation.
