Features & Benefits

The latest urine chemistry analyzer from Siemens combines proven dry-pad technology with an easy-to-use cassette test format to help ensure standardized test results and maximum productivity in busy laboratories.

Enhanced productivity

  • Accepts up to 450 test sets and processes up to 240 samples/hour for increased walkaway time
  • Automated entry of lot number and expiration date via RFID tag saves operator time and reduces potential for errors
  • Test cassettes eliminate the need to align the test strips
  • Built-in liquid-level sensing reduces sample preparation time
  • System design allows easier access to replaceable parts to streamline maintenance and cleaning 

Enhanced Reliability

  • Card handler provides highly reliable transport of test cards for seamless operation
  • Remote diagnostics available to assist in troubleshooting
  • Onboard barcode reader reduces potential for errors reading sample IDs
  • System identifies tube type and senses if cap has been removed, improving pipette reliability
  • LED light source and digital camera increase optical system longevity and overall uptime 

Easy to Use

  • Customer-driven design – color touch screen, tiltable display, customizable menu options
  • Load-and-go test cassettes and test tubes simplify operations
  • Online help and guidance
  • Supports a wide range of testing volumes – load up to 200 samples at once 

Trusted Results

  • Clinically relevant sensitivity and specificity for peace of mind
  • Digital camera measures color to improve accuracy of results
  • Standardized output – same proven test pads used in CLINITEK® Analyzer family from the point of care to the central lab
  • CLINITEK brand is the recognized leader in urine chemistry testing
  • Ready-to-use liquid calibration of all analytes provides confidence in results 

Broad Menu
