  • Refrigerated onboard storage of controls and reagents for extended stability and increased productivity
  • Automation-ready design: no additional hardware required

Features & Benefits

The ADVIA 1800® Clinical Chemistry System pushes the limit of productivity in the core lab and meets the turnaround-time (TAT) goals of today’s laboratories. Its extensive menu allows integration of general clinical chemistry testing with testing for drugs-of-abuse, TDM, special chemistry, and specific proteins such as cystatin C and CardioPhase® hsCRP.

  

Automation-ready design

  • Point-in-space aspiration enables connectivity to a track, VersaCell® System.
  • Redundant sample loading provides built-in backup and easy handling of non-routine samples.
  • Direct sampling from track prevents tubes being detained at an analyzer and reduces aliquoting.

Peak productivity 

  • Throughput of up to 1,800 tests per hour provides the speed to keep pace with workload peaks.
  • Throughput of 200 basic metabolic panels per hour helps to meet turnaround-time demands.
  • Automatic Sample Retain technology lets you perform reruns and dilutions without the need to retrieve primary tubes.
  • Consolidate chemistry testing on one system with a comprehensive menu, consistent cycle times, speed, and open application capability.

Total system reliability 

  • Minimal-maintenance ISEs
  • Robust hardware and simplified software design, with automatic calibration validation and tracking
  • Advances in reagent onboard stability, calibration frequency, interference reduction and assay linearity expansion
  • Direct water connection
  • Remote diagnostics and Inter-Laboratory Quality Control (ILQC) options

Easy efficiency 

  • Large onboard reagent capacity and optional concentrated reagents reduce interruptions.
  • High-resolution touchscreen delivers push-button operation.
  • Reagent pause capability and onboard Sample Pause button make loading easy.
  • Minimal maintenance requirements, including no-maintenance oil bath, reduce hands-on time.
  • Sample integrity checking, include serum indices reporting, short-sample flagging, and clot detection, reducing the need for manual intervention.
