Chemistry analyzers perform a wide range of tests related to diabetes, anemia, liver and kidney function, hepatic function, antibiotic drug level monitoring, thyroid testing, electrolytes and enzymes, lipids, and proteins, and therapeutic drug level monitoring tests. Reputable lab equipment suppliers offer diverse models of chemistry analyzers to meet specific diagnostic testing requirements. A popular option, Awareness Technology’s STAT FAX® 3300 is an advanced analyzer that is fully featured to provide accurate results in quick turnaround time. The device stores control values and creates Levey-Jennings plots for QC.

The unit comes with a wide variety of advanced features for result-oriented performance. The design of the instrument includes many features to minimize operator error such as stable factory calibration, automatic zeroing, complete operator prompting, detailed labeling, pre-programmed calculations, visual and audible feedback, flags and error messages, and minimal maintenance requirements. The operating modes are: Absorbance Mode, Standard Mode, Rate Mode, Factor Mode, Multi-point Mode, and Index Mode

Impressive Features of the STAT FAX® 3300

This chemistry analyzer features a flip-up display screen with a large 240 x 128 pixel graphical display. Its vacuum system speeds sampling and reduces carryover. The device stores patient data and shows kinetic plots in real time. The plug-in standard external keyboard eases the data entry process.

Other notable features:

*    Optical system that is temperature controlled to 37°C

*    Calibration traceable to NIST standard

*    Adapts to use 12 mm round tubes, 1 cm square cuvettes, or built in flow cell

*    Stat Fax readers use IAD filters

*    Create a work list, run tests, print patient reports

*    Use 40-column on-board thermal printer, external printer, or PC

*    Vacuum system speeds sampling and reduces carryover

*    Bichromatic w/6 filters and spaces for 2 optional filters (340-700nm)

To assure operator safety and prolong the life of the instrument, it is important for lab professionals to carefully follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer. User should familiarize themselves with the instrument and its capabilities before attempting any clinical diagnostic tests. Also, proper cleaning is crucial to prevent clogging of the Flowcell tubing and valve tubing.  If reagent, serum, or other proteinaceous fluid is allowed to dry in the Flowcell, it is extremely difficult to remove and its presence can affect test results. Flowcell tubing should be replaced with the replacement tubing included in the kit.

Established dealers also offer Awareness Technology external incubator - 3600 Incubation Block for this quality analyzer. It incubates 18 Tubes at 37°C. LED at front indicates heating function and temperature displays on 3300 screen.

Reagent Rental Program

Professional vendors offer reagent rental plans for budget-constraint laboratories. This contract provides medical labs with the opportunity to place an analyzer in their laboratory in exchange for the guaranteed purchase of reagents over a period of time. Opting for this program is a great way to avoid large capital purchases and bank loans.
