Precision in compactness
Experience efficient and reliable laboratory testing with respons®240c. This fully automated bench top analyzer is perfect for small laboratories since it offers a constant throughput of 240 tests per hour (400 tests/hour incl. optional ISE). Its compact design and user friendly interface provide a valuable asset to any laboratory. Benefit from low operating costs, minimal maintenance and precise results.
Reaction system
The grated photometer is designed for maintenance-free operation, featuring 12 wavelengths to ensure precise and reliable measurements. With a broad photometric linearity of up to 3.5 OD, it minimizes the need for repetitions and thus increases efficiency and accuracy. The system also includes maintenance-free thermostatization of cuvettes through air heating, which eliminates the need for time-consuming servicing of a water bath. Additionally, the twin test functionality supports the DiaSys HbA1c net FS assay, optimizing performance for specific diagnostic applications.
Advanced HbA1c testing
The system features fully automated onboard hemolyzation of whole blood samples, avoiding time-consuming and error-prone manual sample preparation. HbA1c smart sampling ensures efficient aspiration of erythrocytes even in samples with higher sedimentation rate by sampling at the bottom of the tube. After processing a whole blood sample, a deep washing of the sample probe minimizes carryover, enhancing accuracy and reliability.
Reagent/Sample rotor
respons®240c offers an onboard capacity of up to 36 DiaSys respons® bottles in an refrigerated reagent rotor (2-12°C). In combination with the dedicated respons® bottles, a convenient one grip loading also for two component reagents is ensured. Additionally, 36 flexible positions are available for samples/calibrators/controls.
Reagent/Sample probe
The liquid level detection system of the analyzer prevents dry aspiration and ensures in combination with the sample clot detection functions an accurate sample handling. Collision detection protects the probe from damage, while real time inventory monitoring provides a clear overview of remaining tests. Additionally, sample clot detection enhances result reliability.
