QUICK START UP AND RESULTS Loading samples on the sampler tray is the hardest part. After that, the Astoria Analyzer takes it from there with no need for operator involvement. Results appear on the screen in 15-20 minutes. Complicated chemistries, those requiring on-line dialysis, incubation and multiple reagent additions, can run at 90-120 samples per hour. And with the Astoria Analyzer variable speed Micropump, fast rinse out of reagents allows for a quick changeover between cartridges.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY The FASPac™ software System is the answer to more speed and control in automated analyses. Working within the Windows® environment,FASPac offers a sophisticated graphical presentation of information and data, easily customized to fit your needs. Sample tables can be imported from your LIMS system and reports can be consolidated using Windows Clipboard as well as being exported as ASCII, Excel® or Lotus® files.
PEACE OF MIND ACCURACY With software control, the Astoria Analyzer uses its built-in self monitoring system to detect out of control and out of calibration conditions. Baseline monitoring and checkcalibrant monitoring allow the operator to set acceptable limits and to intervene or ignor if limits are exceeded. If intervention is requested, the operator is given the choice to recalibrate and/or rerun samples, abort the run or ignore the situation and resume the run.
PART PER BILLION DETECTION AND EXPANDED RANGE The 305D Digital Detector provides MDL’s of less than 1 ppb for most tests. In addition to low detection limits, the number of off-scale samples can be dramatically reduced due to the expanded range capabilities of the 305D. Using the traditional regulatory-approved continuous flow methodology, dependable results are generated every time. Quick Start Up and Results Loading samples on the sampler tray is the hardest part.
