RapidLab 1200
Multiparameter Hematology System: ADVIA 2120
• Biggest advance in hematology technology for a generation in sensitivity, specificity and parameters added
Applicable to other body fluids eg effusions, BALF, CSF, & BM. Novel parameters eg reticulocyte size, maturity & Hb (most sensitive measure of Fe status), of platelet size & activation, of neutrophil myeloperoxidase, & of extracellular versus intracellular Hb• Managed by Maureen McCullaugh
Sample Port: Automatic sampling with a single port for syringe and capillary samples. Complete with automatic clot detection and clearance, short sample and bubble detection. Can backflush to clear so don’t have to replace cartridge.
• Microsampler – as little as 30 uL
• Comprehensive analytic panel: blood gas (pH, pCO2, pO2); electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca++, CI- ); Metabolic (glucose, lactate)
• Managed by Mick Garrett in out-of-hours / student lab
RapidLab 1200: Blood Gas Analyser
• latest model in market place
• delivers results for all parameters in 1 min
• maintenance-free, cartridge-based system
• LIMS interfaceable
• Numerous Parameters• Thyroid T4, T3, TSH• Reproductive eg progesterone, estradiol, testosterone• Adrenal eg Cortisol (dog)• Cardiac eg troponin, CK-MB (dog, horse)• Vit B12 and folate
• Insulin• Skeletal Muscle troponin
• Managed by Joel Eluk and Penny Furney
Centaur CP• automated Immunoanalyzer
• latest model in market place
• replaces Immulite
Guava – Personal Flow Cytometer
• smallest and easiest to use in marketplace
• 2-angle scatter, 4 color
• being developed for use for immunophenotyping of lymphoma and leukemia
