First worldwide viewing of mega-lab
link-up
Olympus chose SEQC - Sociedad Espanola de Bioquimica Clinica y Pathologia Molecular - as the forum to demonstrate for the first time to a professional audience the benefits to mega laboratories
Delegates to SEQC - one of the most important laboratory medicine congresses in southern Europe - learned for themselves how the AU-Connector can bring improved productivity, increased flexibility and enhanced archiving to their laboratories With an ultra-high throughput of more than 5000 tests/hour, the AU5400 is already well established as the analyser of choice for the growing number of so-called mega-laboratories in both the US and Europe

Adding an AU-Connector gives these laboratories the option to improve productivity and throughput by linking to another Olympus chemistry analyser, or consolidate testing by linking to an Olympus AU3000i immunoassay system.
To increase automation levels even further, samples can be loaded on to the AU-Connector, via a new standardised rack tray, from the Olympus OLA 2500 peri-analytical workstation.
The AU-Connector employs intelligent sample management to optimise sample transport to the respective analysers.
Bottlenecks are eliminated and the lowest possible turnaround times are therefore achieved.
In addition, intelligent sample management ensures that rerun and reflex tests are handled without disrupting routine work.
Calibrators and control samples are handled with high priorities, and finally samples are presented ready sorted for archiving.
Furthermore, analysers connected to the AU-Connector also retain their full stand alone capability. Request a free brochure from Olympus Life Science Europa ...
