COULTER® AceT ^TM 5diff AL (Autoloader)

Automated sample processing for walkaway efficiency

The Ac•T 5diff AL significantly improves sample handling by eliminating manual sample loading – a feature that not only saves time, but also lowers operational costs and increases your lab's Overall workflow efficiency. In addition, the Software enables laboratories to upload QC assay values and download IQAP data automatically, which enhances their Quality Assurance program management while requiring less manual manipulation of data.

Easy-to-use data management

•            Easy quality control fite management

•            Patient storage wich streamlined data recall

•            Interlaboratory Quality Assurance Program (IQAP) complements your lab's in-house quality control efforts and increases confidence in your results

•            Downloadable IQAP data and uploadable control assay reduce manual data manipulation and saue time

•            Qualitative flagging Speeds review of patient results and decreases turnaround time

•            20 user-definable patient and action ranges for increased flexibility

•            Individual log books consolidate and automate record keeping

Easy to Operate

•            Integrated autoloader processes 1 to 100 samples, loading up to ten racks (each holding ten 13 x 75 mm tubes) for higher testing capacity – 80 samples per hour

•            Two additional tube holders accommodate tubes of varying sizes, such as pediatric tubes, for increased system flexibility during Manual mode sampling

•            Internat point-of-aspiration barcode reader provides positive sample identification

•            STAT interrupt, enables operators to bypass the autoloader and load an emergency sample for prioritized testing

•            System recognizes whole blond vs. platelet concentrate and automatically applies the appropriate linearity and reportable rangen

•            Comprehensive on-board Help database uses key Word searches to help solve problems quickly and easily

•            CD-ROM Help software demonstrates system Operation and troubleshooting, thus speedirig training for new operators

•            An external Computer wich Windows NT software enables easy Operator Management

•            Intuitive icons make the system easy to operate and streamline testing workflow
