- Analysis Method
- Continuous-flow analysis (CFA) is typically employed, offering high throughput for multiple parameters.
- Typical Throughput
- Units of this class commonly offer throughput ranging from 60 to 300 tests per hour, depending on the configuration and number of channels.
- Number of Channels
- Flexible configurations are typical, allowing for multiple analytical channels to run simultaneously.
- Reagent Consumption
- Continuous-flow systems are generally efficient with reagent use, optimised for cost-effective operation.
- Power Supply
- Typically requires a standard laboratory power supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz for UK operation.
- Footprint
- For this class of equipment, a benchtop design is common, requiring a moderate amount of laboratory space.
- Data Output
- Commonly features connectivity for LIMS integration and data export for record-keeping and analysis.
