Mindray BS-480 Clinical Analyzer
The BS-480 Automated Analyzer from HORIBA Medical is a fully automated, standalone floor model analyzer that is capable of performing up to 500 tests/ hr. with ISE and 400 tests/ hr. without ISE. It offers many high-end features usually only found in large integrated systems. The Analyzer is equipped with probe collision protection and auto-recovery functions, eliminating operator worry when walking away. Additionally this innovative analyzer can hold up to 90 sample positions and is equipped with intuitive software, making it the ideal solution for Physician Office Laboratories (POL), decentralized laboratories, toxicology laboratories, drug courts, reference laboratories and small hospitals.
