PK7300 Automated Microplate System

PK7300 Automated Microplate System: Comprehensive blood banking solution

The PK7300 Automated Microplate System leads the industry in pre-transfusion, automated blood donor testing. System features include 300-sample-per-hour throughput, full online system status updates, data transfer capabilities, and aspiration and dispense monitoring intelligence. The PK7300 also self-monitors critical instrument processes with alarms, including result validation for abnormal conditions.

Simplicity and efficiency

High throughput of up to 300 samples per hour allows rapid analysis of large volumes of samples
Reduce training time with customized menus, icons and color-keyed graphics
Save time and money with programmable, fully automated start-up mode
Onboard data management allows you to store and search test results and data can be saved for off-line analysis and archiving

Quality and reliability

Get reliable analysis using a high-resolution CCD camera
Enhance test reliability using barcodes to automate management of samples, microplates, reagents and diluents
Continuously monitor dispensed volumes of samples, reagents and diluents; anomalies are automatically detected, displayed and reported
