An exclusive tube carrying system · · · · · · · VIDEOGAMMA/RACK is the first RIA system not needing any operator's handling of the tubes. In the most little space. the operator simply leans the tubes rack and sets the operations on the computer. Any rack can be used, after setting its characteristics. VIDEOGAMMA/RACK will automatically carry the tubes from the rack to the detectors, thanks to an exclusive pliers, regardless of the presence of a stopper. Loading and downloading of the tubes are hold with the aim of minimizing elapsed time: for this reason both the operations are always integrated for performing a "full-load" run. In other terms, downloading a tube from the detector to the rack is followed immediately by the inverse uploading operation. The PC monitor always reports in a clear and simple graphic way any operation, thus giving an immediate information about the detection in progress. Practically, a colored map of the disposition of the tubes gives at glance the information about the tubes under detection, those already tested and those in standby.

VIDEOGAMMA/RACK Models flexibility ! ! ! VIDEOGAMMA/RACK is offered in several models, according to the number of detectors used. The 1, 2, 4 or 8 detectors versions are indifferently available in the same mechanic shell. VIDEOGAMMA/RACK is also available with different kinds of detectors. Besides the classical RIA detectors for low energy one or more detectors can be added for measurements of high energy, as frequently requested in a center RIA operating in nuclear medicine. A typical example is the model VIDEOGAMMA/RACK-MN which uses four 1,5” x 1,5” detectors for RIA measurements and one 3”...

VIDEOGAMM A/RACK • V/IDEOGAMMA/RACK exploits the complete RIA program library set up by L'ACM since its foundation in 1975. It is possible to find acquisition and data processing programs for: 4. fittings: POIMT-TO-POIMT, PARAMETERS, LOGIT-LOG, 5PLIME. • Only V/IDEOQAMMA/RACK offers even the software for the calculation of the activity in any tube expressed in Bq. Assay ALDOSTERONE Quality Control The quality-control program can represent clearly and immediately the temporary trend of 9 parameters for any RIA test in graphics mode. Technical specifications • DETECTION 5Y5TEM: Erom 1 to 10 Mal(TI)...
