Grifols - 2020-Grifols - Wadiana Compact-Immunology Analyzer

• Blood banks and transfusion centres for pre-transfusion testing.
• Clinical diagnostic laboratories for infectious disease screening.
• Research facilities requiring automated immunoassay processing.
• Hospitals for routine immunology testing.

Typical throughput

Units of this type commonly process multiple samples per hour, depending on the assay.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard laboratory electrical supply, often 230V, 50Hz for UK operation.

Footprint

The 'Compact' designation suggests a relatively small benchtop footprint, suitable for laboratories with limited space.

Assay types

Designed for a range of immunoassay tests, commonly including blood grouping and infectious disease markers.

Sample capacity

Typically features a carousel or rack system for a defined number of patient samples and reagents.

Automation level

Offers automated pipetting, incubation, washing, and reading steps, reducing manual intervention.

• What kind of maintenance does a used immunology analyser typically require?

  Regular maintenance for units of this type commonly includes daily cleaning, weekly calibration, and periodic checks of fluidic systems and optical components. Specifics will be in the manufacturer's service manual.

• Are reagents universally compatible with all immunoassay systems?

• What are the typical installation requirements for this equipment?

• Can this unit be integrated with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used immunology analyser?

Immunoassay systems hold strong reputation in clinical and diagnostic settings for reliable, reproducible results. Buyers typically value throughput capacity, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with existing laboratory workflows. When purchasing used units, inspection of optical components, calibration history, and reagent availability should be prioritised. These systems generally demonstrate durability and consistent performance across multiple generations, making quality secondhand examples reliable investments for busy diagnostic facilities requiring cost-effective automation.
