An array of analyzers: enhanced efficiency.


The COBAS INTEGRA 800 analyzer is for medium-workload laboratories and special chemistry-testing in high-volume sites. This analyzer provides true consolidation power with on-board capacity of up to 72 tests and throughput of up to 855 tests per hour. It offers consolidated testing from a parameter menu of more than 150 applications--and is used for analysis of serum, plasma, urine, CSF Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis Definition

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a laboratory test to examine a sample of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
, hemolysate, and whole blood. All COBAS INTEGRA systems have absorbance photometry photometry (fōtŏm`ətrē), branch of physics dealing with the measurement of the intensity of a source of light, such as an electric lamp, and with the intensity of light such a source may cast on a surface area.  for enzymes and substrates; turbidimetry tur·bi·dim·e·try
n.
A method for determining the concentration of a substance in a solution by measuring the loss in intensity of a light beam through a solution that contains suspended particulate matter.

The science of determining the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation (x-rays, light or radio waves). Radiation is said to be linearly polarized when the electric vector oscillates in only one plane.
 for therapeutic drugs and thyroid tests; and non-selective electrode potentiometry for measuring Na+, K+, Cl- and Li+. Long on-board reagent stability and long calibration intervals mean fewer calibrations and less waste.
