Pointe 180 (&Teco 84)

The Pointe 180 is a small, semi-automated chemistry analyzer with six filters and a large test menu. It has an onboard incubator with 12 wells at 37° C, a temperature controlled cuvette well, and internal temperature control. The analyzer leads the user through test performance in a step-by-step manner. The new graphics software allows extended timed absorbance interval data and kinetic data plots to be printed. 

The analyzer has 48 programmed and 21 open channels, and reads, calculates, and prints results in less than three seconds. The analyzer reads test tubes upon insertion----no need to press a button. Optimized parameters for Pointe Scientific reagents are already entered - just select the test number. Open channels are available for programming other tests. The normal range for each test is automatically printed out, and results that are out of the normal range are flagged. Normal ranges can be edited to fit the area or population. Results generated by the Pointe 180 are comparable to results reported by hospital and reference labs.
