Typical throughput

Units in this class typically offer high throughput, often exceeding 100 tests per hour, depending on the assay.

Assay principle

Utilises B·R·A·H·M·S KRYPTOR technology, commonly a time-resolved amplified cryptate emission (TRACE) immunoassay.

Sample types

Typically processes various sample types including serum, plasma, and whole blood.

Reagent handling

Commonly features onboard refrigeration for reagents and automated reagent management.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard laboratory power supply, often 100-240V, 50/60Hz.

Connectivity

Often includes LIS/LIMS connectivity for seamless integration into laboratory information systems.

Footprint

Benchtop design, with dimensions typically suitable for standard laboratory benches; exact size varies by model configuration.

• What kind of maintenance does an immunoassay system like this typically require?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves daily, weekly, and monthly checks, including cleaning, calibration, and quality control. Annual preventative maintenance by a qualified engineer is also standard.

• Are reagents universally compatible with all immunoassay systems?

• What are the typical installation requirements for this type of analyzer?

• Can this system be integrated with existing laboratory information systems (LIS)?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used immunoassay analyzer?

Immunoassay systems are valued for their precision and reliability in diagnostic testing. Buyers typically prioritise machine condition, calibration history, and software compatibility when purchasing used units. These systems are generally regarded as robust investments that maintain functionality well across their operational lifespan. Key considerations include verifying maintenance records, checking reagent availability for specific models, and confirming technical support access. Industry sentiment reflects confidence in established brands, with emphasis placed on documented performance validation prior to purchase.
