High-Precision Optical System

To meet the requirements of highly accurate photometric measurements, HORIBA ABX has chosen the holographic grating technology developed in collaboration with HORIBA JOBIN YVON.

    • Spectral unit offering 15 different wavelengths (mono or bi-chromatic)
    • Optimized reading by continuous sweep
    • Highly sensitive measuring (validated holographic technology)
    • Space-saving design with maximum efficacy provided by the tungsten lamp. The holographic grating technology reduces light diffraction and provides a high signal / noise ratio which significantly increases the quality of measurement to produce precise and stable test results.
Integrated ISE Module
    • Optional ISE module designed by HORIBA Ltd., Japan.
    • 180 tests/hour
    • Simultaneous analysis of Sodium, Potassium and Chloride
    • Applications on Serum, Plasma and Urine
High quality analytical technology
    • Single-use reaction cuvette to perform the most sensitive tests and all latex assays with high stability results
    • High performance mixer design for optimal mixing in minimum time without cross-contamination.
    • Optimum test sequence setting program with incompatibility function
Cassette packaging
    • Mono / Bi reagent cassettes
    • Ready-to-use
    • Extended range
    • 52 parameters
    • General Chemistries / Specific Proteins
Easy management of your lab processes
    • Random position on board
    • Automatic traceability : lot number, expiration date..
    • Automatic back-up
    • Just one calibrator and two controls for routine analysis
Environment protection
    • Compact cassette packaging that respects the environment
    • No more superfluous packaging
    • Saves refrigerator space
Cost control
    • Optimized number of tests per cassette
    • Limited calibrations
    • Re-run analysis according to laboratory defined rules
    • Activity measurement thanks to the test counter option
Secure Data Management
