Today’s
integrated lab
without yesterday’s
frustrations
Designed for seamless integration
• Immunoassay and clinical chemistry
testing on a single instrument
• Unique combination of four
detection methods
• Created specifically for the complex
workload of the high-volume lab

Delivers accurate results fast

• Fastest turnaround time and
total throughput in a study of
comparable analyzers†
• Immediate and consistent
STAT results regardless of
routine workload
