Specifications: The
electrolyte analyzer is designed for use with whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, or dialysate samples, requiring a sample size of 95 µl. It detects various electrolytes with specific ranges: Blood Na+ (40-200 mmol/L), Dialysate K+ (1.7-15 mmol/L), Cl- (50-200 mmol/L), Ca++ (0.3-5.0 mmol/L), Li+ (0.2-5.5 mmol/L), Urine Na+ (3-300 mmol/L), K+ (5-120 mmol/L), and Cl- (15-300 mmol/L). Display resolution varies by electrolyte, with Na+ and Cl- offering resolutions of 1 mmol/L or 0.1 mmol/L, and others offering finer resolutions.
Performance: Analysis time is 60 seconds without printout and 75 seconds with printout. The device can store up to 1000 patient results and 500 results for each of three quality control levels. Calibration is performed every 4 hours and after each measurement. Reproducibility is high, with coefficients of variation (CV) and standard deviations (SD) specified for different electrolytes and sample types.
Features: The analyzer supports veterinary options for various animals and offers user input via keypad, external keyboard, and optional barcode scanner. Output includes a graphic backlit display, printer, and RS232 LIS serial communication. It operates under ambient conditions of 15-32°C and less than 85% humidity, with power requirements of 100-240V and a maximum of 50 Watts.
Physical Characteristics: The device measures 13.2 x 12.4 x 12 inches and weighs 14 lbs. It supports multiple languages, including English, Chinese, French, and others.
