The CLINITEK® 500 Urine Chemistry Analyzer is Bayer's most recent addition to the Lab-Based Urine Chemistry Systems. It is a semi-automated, benchtop analyzer that is flexible enough to meet any volume of testing and developed to increase productivity in laboratories where urine chemistry is performed. Advanced read head design allows automatic color determinations and nonhemolyzed trace blood detection on every sample. Additional features include automatic reagent strip detection for operator-paced sample processing, automatic calibration, confirmatory and microscopic sieve functions, and user interface with touch-screen display. A bar-code reader is provided with each CLINITEK® 500 to improve laboratory efficiency through rapid entry of sample identification, color, and clarity values. The CLINITEK® 500 is manufactured within an ISO 9001 registered quality system and is Year 2000 compliant. Read below to see how the CLINITEK® 500 will allow you to speed up the tempo of the laboratory, harness the full range of testing options, gain momentum with ease, and streamline data management.

Efiiciency in processing

• 1 strip processed every 7 seconds
• 1 result every minute
• Strip needs only to be placed analyser platform. Continuous "load and capture" mechanism draws strip into reader.
• Strip automatically discarded into waste tray after processing
• Barcode reader for data entry
  

User Friendly

• Easy to read touch screen display
• Operator screen guidance for processing
• Barcode reader for data entry

Speed up the tempo of the laboratory.

· Integrates operations to keep your laboratory efficient.

· Increases throughput to meet your volume needs.

· Minimizes downtime; ready when you are.

· High-volume throughput--7 seconds per sample--boosts laboratory productivity.

· Operator-controlled pacing enhances efficiency.

· Immediate start-up eliminates waiting.

· Automatic calibration improves work flow.

· Handheld bar-code reader identifies sample, color and clarity, minimizing errors and streamlining record keeping.

· Dual sieve functions automatically identify samples requiring additional testing.

Harness the full range of testing options.
· Convenient: Customize parameters once.
· Versatile: Perform chemistries as necessary.
· Secure: Be confident that abnormals are identified.

• System Tests for multiple chemistries:
  o Bilirubin
  o Glucose
  o Ketone
  o Leukocyte
  o Nitrite
  o Occult blood
  o Protein
  o Urobilinogen
  
• Measures specific gravity in .005 increments, from <=1.005 to >=1.030.
• Measures pH in 0.5 increments, from 5.5 to 9.0.
• Provides automatic non-hemolyzed trace blood detection.
• Reflectance photometry determines color automatically on every sample--yellow, orange, red, green, blue and brown.
• Sample clarity-reporting options--clear, slightly cloudy, cloudy, turbid, other--allow complete reporting.
• Two sieve functions--confirmatory and microscopic--flag abnormal results for quick review.
