Intelligent Walk-away Analyser Launched

The Diatron Group launched its new economic walk-away clinical chemistry analyser, the P500, at Medica 2014.

The new medium throughput system (215 tests/hour on a typical sample mix) is ergonomically designed and user-friendly with a high level of automation that delivers assured result quality. The advanced, intuitive windows-based software and smart architecture, means the P500 is able to offer many features on an accessible platform. These include uninterrupted workflow, enhanced walk-away operation and remote-access diagnostics, all of which have only been available on more expensive clinical chemistry systems until now.

The P500 is also truly user-friendly with well-structured, easy-to-service design and ‘one window’ software featuring an easy-to-use icon interface menu and inventory management. The minimal usage of consumables and low water consumption enable cost-effective, market-leading performance, and the P500’s proven, high quality components ensure the highest quality results. There is also has an optional ISE module available which significantly increases the throughput to over 450 tests/hour.

Visitors to the booth at Medica also learnt about Diatron’s new and extensive range of high-quality clinical chemistry reagents, which have been developed to complement the new P500 and other clinical chemistry analysers in the Pictus range (P400 and P700). This QC-guaranteed range includes substrates, enzymes, electrolytes, lipids, specific proteins and special tests, all with excellent sensitivity, precision and linearity. The reagents are manufactured in an ISO9001-certified production facility and undergo extensive performance testing for each batch and lot, ensuring minimal variation and maximum shelf-life. The tests’ liquid reagents are safe and easy-to-use and are designed and performance-optimised for direct loading and use on the Diatron Pictus range.
