| Features and Benefits |
- The Piccolo Xpress is a compact, portable clinical chemistry system designed for on-site patient testing
- The self-calibrating analyzer performs quality control checks on each sample, including onboard QC monitoring to ensure chemistry and instrument integrity for accurate result
- Sample is added directly to an 8 cm diameter, single-use, self-contained plastic chemistry reagent disc
- Each disc contains all reagents needed to perform a panel of tests on a single sample
- The Piccolo Xpress delivers up to 24 individual tests including CLIA-waived lipids, liver enzymes and glucose monitoring
- Built-in thermal printer with adhesive backed paper
- External printer, LIS, and EMR capable
- 10-digit numberic-VGA color touchscreen display
- Memory capacity up to 5000 patient and quality control results
- Direct compatibility supported with USB peripherals including bar code readers, keyboards, personal computers and printers
|
- Alfa Wassermann introduces the ACE Axcel, a next-generation clinical chemistry system that sets the standard for excellence in today's Physician Office Laboratory (POL)
- With touch screen functionality, an intuitive user interface, and Internet connectivity, the Axcel offers the latest advances to make in-office laboratory testing fast, convenient, and cost-effective
- ACE Axcel processes up to 165 photometric tests per hour and up to 120 potentiometric (ISE) tests per hour
- Self-contained system; ACE Axcel needs no dedicated water system or waste disposal
- Liquid-ready to use reagents, can stay onboard due to system reagent refrigeration
|
- Self contained reagent discs deliver complete results in real time
- Very small sample – only 100 microliters of whole blood, serum or plasma
- As easy to use as a CD player – load sample, insert disc and read results
- Barcoded discs self calibrate with every run and minimize data input errors
- Comprehensive chemistry results in a single use disc
- Small footprint occupies very little counter space
