REQUEST A QUOTE What the Beckman AU480 handles on your bench The AU480 is a random-access analyzer that measures by spectrophotometry and, with the ISE module, indirect potentiometry. It runs colorimetric, turbidimetric, latex agglutination and homogeneous enzyme immunoassay methods. biotechSample loading. Load 80 samples in barcoded 10-position racks and keep loading while it runs. It takes primary and secondary tubes from 11.5 to 16 mm wide and 55 to 102 mm tall, plus nested micro sample cups. priority_highSTAT work. Place urgent samples on a cooled 22-position STAT turntable with its own barcode reader. The same turntable keeps calibrators and controls refrigerated. water_dropSample volume. Aspirate 1 to 25 µL per test in 0.1 µL steps. scienceReagents. Hold 15, 30 and 60 mL bottles in 76 positions refrigerated at 4 to 12 °C. The analyzer tracks liquid levels, counts remaining tests and switches to a backup bottle on its own. event_repeatCalibration and QC. Run calibration and QC automatically from cooled positions, with master calibration data loaded from a 2-D barcode. replayReruns and dilutions. Rerun automatically with more, less or the same sample volume, trigger reflex tests, and pre-dilute samples at fixed ratios from 3 to 100. flagSample integrity. Check every sample for lipemia, hemolysis and icterus, with clot detection and crash protection on the probes. thermostatReaction and readout. Read reactions in permanent cuvettes held in a 37 °C dry incubation bath, at 13 wavelengths from 340 to 800 nm. boltElectrolytes. On ISE units, measure sodium, potassium and chloride for up to 200 samples an hour, or up to 600 tests an hour in ISE-only mode. lanData. Store results for 100,000 samples and connect to your LIS over an RS-232C interface, one-way or bidirectional. Maintenance videos built into the software walk operators through routine tasks at the analyzer. Which labs buy a refurbished Beckman AU480? The AU480 is often used as the primary chemistry analyzer in small and mid-size hospitals, and a dedicated STAT or specialty analyzer in larger ones. local_hospitalSmall and mid-size hospital labs. Run routine chemistry and electrolytes on one analyzer, with 22 STAT positions for ED and inpatient samples. priority_highLarge labs that need a STAT or specialty analyzer. Move STAT, urine or specialty chemistry off your main line. If that line runs larger Beckman AU analyzers, the AU480 uses the same reagents, and all AU systems give comparable results. content_copyHealth systems with satellite labs. Put matching AU480s in your satellite and outreach sites so their reference ranges and reagent inventory line up with the hub. upgradeLabs moving up from an older AU analyzer. Replace an AU400 or similar unit and gain barcode calibration, 63 onboard tests and smaller sample volumes, without changing reagents. buildLabs that need a backup.
