Features

- Saturno 300 plus - is a TRUE RANDOM ACCESS CHEMISTRY ANALYZER fully computer controlled by a built-in industrial Pentium computer, where all the tests for Patient #1 are performed before starting on Patient #2 with an immediate print-out of the Patient Report.

Important: This SATURN PLUS eBay listing does not include any software nor any computer hardware such as CPUs or Printers.

- THROUGHPUT - 300 actual tests per hour independently of type or method, plus 180 electrolytes per hour at the same time. A total of 480 tests per hour.
- CAPACITY - 40 PRIMARY TUBES or small sample cups. Including 20 places reserved for Standards, Controls and STATS.
- CONTINUOUS SAMPLE LOADING and programming while the analyzer is in operation.
- UP TO 240 PATIENTS – can be programmed with continuous sample loading while the analyzer is in operation. - AUTOMATIC PRE-DILUTION of SAMPLES – if necessary.
- 60 ON-LINE Reagents, each Reagent can be cooled or left at room temperature. Four types of reagent containers: 50 – 30 – 10 and 5 ml.
- REAGENT VOLUME – is automatically monitored with an On-Line inventory. The number of tests available in each reagent container is displayed and its stability checked.
- IDENTIFICATION OF SAMPLES - with a built-in bar code reader (optional).
- IDENTIFICATION OF REAGENTS - with a built-in bar code reader (optional)
- WALK-AWAY OPERATION - Once the patients are programmed, all operations are fully automatic. The reaction cuvettes are automatically washed and dried to assure a non-stop operation.
- INCUBATION – takes place in quartz cuvettes immersed in a liquid bath at 37°C to assure perfect temperature control of the reactions.
- DIRECT READING - a built-in Multi-filter photometer measures the samples several times during its incubation at 8 different wavelengths.
- WASHING SYSTEM – includes two independent probes. This allows to have a better throughput with method with long incubation time.
- GRAPHIC DISPLAY – of calibration curves, Patient kinetic curves, Quality Control graphs, etc
-STATISTICS of tests performed
- I.S.E MODULE - to run Sodium, Potassium and Chloride simultaneously (Optional)
- AUTOMATIC REPETITION OF TESTS - results that are critical, outside linear range or due to substrate depletion are automatically pre-diluted and repeated.
- SAMPLE and REAGENT DISPENSING PROBES – have built-in Liquid Level Sensors and Mixers to assure a correct sample preparation. A special probe washing system eliminates contamination and carry over. rMAGNETIC CLAMPING OF THE PROBES - MICRO-VOLUMES OF REAGENT - a total of 300 µl of reagent is sufficient to run any test.
- WASHING SOLUTION – Its quality is automatically checked by the system
- INCUBATION SOLUTION – Its quality is automatically checked by the system.
- KEYBOARD – a full keyboard for easy programming of Patients with demographics.

- USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE – with graphic presentation, makes it easy and simple to operate, including ON LINE - HELP program.
- OPEN SYSTEM - an unlimited number Chemistry and Immunoassay methods and profiles are all user programmable.
- ON LINE QUALITY CONTROL - checks the precision during standardization and during the daily operation.
- STATS – are processed within 6 minutes without interfering with normal routine testing.
