Alere Cholestech LDX^® Analyzer

Cholestech

The Cholestech LDX^® System brings a wealth of benefits to health care professionals and patients. The LDX^® System delivers the ability to measure a complete lipid profile and glucose, ALT, AST, and hs-CRP and it does it all in 5 minutes per test cassette (7 minutes for hs-CRP). The accuracy, speed, and broad menu of tests available for the Cholestech LDX^® make it an invaluable tool in the fight against heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Best of all, the rapid results allow for immediate testing, counseling, and treatment decisions.

Piccolo Xpress^® Chemistry Analyzer

Abaxis

The Piccolo Xpress^® is a compact, portable clinical chemistry system designed for on-site patient testing. Roughly the size of a shoebox, health care providers use the easy-to-follow color touch screen commands to perform routine multi-chemistry panels. 0.1cc of whole blood, serum, or plasma is added directly to the patented 8-cm diameter single-use plastic disc containing the liquid diluent and dry reagents. The disc is placed in the analyzer drawer where centrifugal and capillary forces are used to mix the reagents and sample in the disc. The Piccolo Xpress^® monitors the reagent reactions simultaneously using nine wavelengths, calculates the results from the absorbance data, and reports the results. The Piccolo Xpress^® self-calibrates with each run and the onboard continuous Intelligent Quality Control (IQCT) monitors the analyzer, reagent reactions, and sample to ensure chemistry and instrument integrity. This ensures the highest quality and accuracy in results. Results are ready in approximately 12 minutes with a "hard copy" report suitable for the patient file or transferred to a computer, printer, or an LIS/EMR. This enables you to rapidly obtain critical diagnostic information at point of care. The easy-to-use, low-maintenance system requires no special training to operate.

Basic Panel contains BUN, Ca, Cl-, CRE, GLU, K+, Na+, and tCO₂.

Comprehensive Panel contains ALB, ALP, ALT, AST, BUN, Ca, Cl-, CRE, GLU, K+, Na+, TBIL, tCO₂, and TP.

Triage® Meters

Alere

Triage® Meters are designed to provide diagnostic results quickly and easily. Quantitative diagnostic panel results are displayed and printed in easy-to-read numbers and highlighted when the result is above the cutoff. Qualitative diagnostic panel results are displayed as positive (POS) or negative (NEG), eliminating the need for interpretation of lines that often hamper qualitative diagnostics.
