The Konelab PRIME 60 is an ideal system for medium-sized laboratories as a
stand-alone instrument or as a part of a high-capacity workcell for routine and
specialty testing.
Product Detail
Konelab PRIME 60 - operational efficiency and accurate results
Konelab PRIME 60 is a fully automated clinical chemistry analyzer. It offers an expanding scope of assay test parameters with a view to future applications. The highly-developed Konelab PRIME 60 is an integrated system for routine clinical chemistry tests, electrolytes and special chemistries including specific proteins, TDM, DoA and toxicology tests.
Capacity of up to 600 tests per hour
Continuous access to samples, reagents and cuvettes
On-board capacity of 84 routine samples, 6 STAT samples
39 fixed, cooled calibrator and control positions
45 refrigerated reagent positions, real-time reagent status seen
2,100 cuvette storage positions
Interface to laboratory automation
Automatic clot detection to secure result integrity
Integrated workstation with touch screen to facilitate routine work
The proven, unique low-volume multicell cuvette technology has been further developed to meet the demands of the high throughput system. The large cuvette magazine gives the user real walk-away freedom. These 12-cell cuvettes require reaction volumes of only 120 to 150 ul awarding the user with low running costs.
Random access analyzer for routine and special chemistries, incl. specific proteins, therapeutic drugs, drugs of abuse and user definable applications.
