Olympus / Beckman Coulter AU480 Chemistry Analyzer

A fully automated, random access chemistry system with STAT capability, the AU480 is a great choice for small to medium sized labs. 

Beckman Coulter’s AU480 is an automated chemistry analyzer that measures analytes in samples in combination with appropriate reagents, calibrators, quality control (QC) material, and other accessories. The device is designed for in vitro diagnostic use only and performs automated analysis of serum, urine, and other fluids effectively. This random access chemistry system with STAT capability is ideal for small to medium sized laboratories. Its unique features include long-life electrodes, low maintenance, and superior spot photometer technology.

* Analytical methods- Colorimetry, turbidimetry, latex agglutination, homogeneous EIA, indirect ISE

* Throughput- 400 photometric tests/hour; maximum of 800 with ISE

* Simultaneously processed analytes- 60 photometric tests + 3 ISE, 120 pre-programmed onboard tests

* Sample volume- 1–25 μl in 0.1 μl steps (1–25 μl for repeats)

* Reaction time- Up to 8 minutes, 37.5 seconds

* Data Storage- Sample number 100,000 samples. Reaction Data 200,000 tests

The system comes with twin sampling capability via rack loading or a cooled STAT turntable module. The STAT module provides quick emergency testing, on-board calibrator and QC storage for system access during auto calibration and auto QC. Different tube sizes may be mixed within the racks and can be loaded continuously. The system combines versatile advanced functions that facilitate high quality testing, improve turnaround time and cut operating costs. The sample volumes as low as 1 µl makes it ideal for pediatric testing and assures cost efficiency with reaction volumes down to as low as 90 µl.

Other features include computer controlled sample and reagent dispensing based on CAN technology. The device also comes with clot detection and crash prevention promotes system reliability. Security is further improved by context-sensitive help screens and videos. 

* Improved convenience with Universal applications

* Enhanced efficiency with low consumable usage

* Continuous loading sample feeder with 80 samples on board at any time

* Flexible STAT rotor

* Large reagent compartment with advanced calibration

* Cuvette wheel with low maintenance with non disposable quartz cuvettes

* Best in class ISE with 6 months shelf life

Buying the Beckman Coulter AU480 chemistry analyzer from a reliable lab equipment vendor in New York would ensure great pricing. Established dealers offer refurbished models of this quality analyzer at rates much lower than new. As the analyzer is refurbished to meet original manufacturer specifications, there is no compromise on quality. In addition to supplying necessary accessories, supplies and reagents, reliable suppliers also provide training and comprehensive maintenance support.
