Meet Turnaround Time Goals with the Siemens ADVIA 1800 Clinical Chemistry System

Chemistry analyzers play a key role in clinical laboratories and research settings. The devices are used to determine concentrations of analytes, proteins, enzymes, electrolytes in blood samples and other bodily fluids. Leading manufacturers offer various models of chemistry analyzers to meet the specific needs of small, medium and high volume clinical laboratories. The ADVIA 1800 system is a premium quality analyzer in the Siemens ADVIA chemistry line. It offers unmatched efficiency, reliability and uncompromised accuracy, enabling true workstation consolidation to minimize costs and optimize productivity.

ADVIA 1800 System for Smarter Chemistry Testing

This innovative device features intuitive software interface and advanced testing capabilities to deliver superior performance and reliable results. It is the right choice for high volume labs looking for automation, peak productivity, and total system reliability. The analyzer brings significant reliability and ease of use to high volume chemistry labs.

Designed for total system reliability, the system’s extensive and growing menu allows integration of general clinical chemistry testing with testing for drugs-of-abuse, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), special chemistry and specific proteins like Cystatin C and CardioPhase® hsCRP. A throughput of up to 1,800 tests or 200 Basic Metabolic panels per hour provides the speed to keep pace with workload peaks, thus meeting lab turnaround-time demands.

Key Features

*    Automatic Sample Retain

*    High photometric test speed

*    Easy-to-use touch screen

*    Faster and more reliable ISE test module

*    Easy sample and reagent loading

*    Automation ready design that requires no additional hardware

*    High-resolution touch screen delivers push-button operation

*    Reagent pause capability and onboard Sample Pause button make loading easy

The system’s Automatic Sample Retain technology allows reruns and dilutions to be performed without the need to retrieve a primary tube. Sample integrity checking, micro volume sampling, and short sample and clot detection reduce the need for manual intervention and facilitate testing routine and low-volume samples. New advances in reagent onboard stability, calibration frequency, interference reduction and linearity expansion ensure consistent, reliable results. Whether with automation or stand-alone, the system works in concert with Siemens immunoassay systems to offer productivity gains for the core laboratory.

The ADVIA 1200, another reliable analyzer model by Siemens, features a small footprint, which allows it to fit comfortably in labs of any size. It comes with compact, easy to replace, long-life electrodes guaranteed for 30,000 tests per electrode.

Purchasing these analyzers from an established lab equipment supplier will ensure competitive pricing as well as efficient support for maintenance.
