Single-Sample Micro-Osmometer
For clinical laboratories directly sampling small volumes
Designed for sample-limited applications, Advanced Instruments’ new freezing-point osmometer, Osmo1, uses a 20 ?L sample size and measures the osmolality of body fluids, including feces, plasma, serum, sweat, tissue homogenate, urine, and whole blood. It analyzes samples one at a time using the instrument’s operating cradle, which enables tests to be run directly from the Ease-Eject sampler, eliminating any loss of sample. The instrument features an interactive touchscreen, an onboard printer, and a 2-D barcode scanner to provide positive sample identification and reduce transcription errors. Data management and transfer can be handled via the onboard printer or by exporting data. The Osmo1 uses the industry-preferred freezing-point depression method to deliver results in 90 seconds and can be used for a variety of clinical diagnostic applications.

POL Chemistry Analyzer
Self-contained performance
The Ace Axcel clinical chemistry system by Alfa Wassermann Diagnostic Technologies is a self-contained system in a small footprint with no dedicated waste disposal, water line, or cooling unit required. Disposable cuvettes provide the highest level of accuracy and eliminate the need for a water system. Onboard reagent refrigeration maintains specimen and reagent integrity. Liquid, ready-to-use reagents eliminate prep time and closed-tube sampling with the Step module minimizes operator interaction with the sample, making for a safer workplace. Patient samples remain sealed in blood collection tubes. The unit’s touchscreen functionality, intuitive user interface, and Internet connectivity offer the latest advances to make in-office laboratory testing fast, convenient, and cost-effective.

EasyRA Clinical Chemistry System
Moderately complex benchtop analyzer
The EasyRA is a fully automated benchtop clinical chemistry analyzer that accommodates the diverse needs of small- to mid-sized laboratories and is well suited for urine drug screening and general chemistry. Its slide-out drawer makes maintenance easy, and radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology eliminates the need to manually program reagents. When the smart reagent wedge is placed anywhere in the reagent area, EasyRA identifies location, number of samples remaining, sample volumes, and expiration dates. The EasyRA is categorized as moderately complex under the terms of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), with 14 urine drugs of abuse tests, 35 general chemistries, 24 sample positions, and 24 reagents on board. The analyzer performs 240 tests per hour—480 with its integrated ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)—and processes stat samples in 8 minutes.
