“Behind the scenes” – Backup included thanks to smart design!
“What do you think is the biggest advantage for your customers to
choose a HumaStar 600 besides the usual comparisons of technical
specifications?”
“The fact that customers do not need to buy a 2nd backup
instrument!”*
“The most important modules of HumaStar 600 are duplicated (2
wash stations, 2 measuring wheels with the cuvettes, 2 universal
samplers for the samples and reagents).This unique design allows to
convince the customer that even if one of the double units fails, the
analyser can continue to operate.”*
“Therefore, the failure tolerance is increased and the stable
laboratory operation is secured.”*
*Feedback of HUMAN’s biggest HumaStar 600 Distributor, which sold more then 200 instruments.
