If you have any questions, please contact your supplier and refer to the model number and seven-digit serial number located at the back of your unit, when inquiring.
The BR-5000N Bilirubin meter is a digital, direct reading measuring equipment developed with the purpose of enabling the measurement of total bilirubin in serum of neonate while compensating for hemolysis, turbidity, and other components of obstruction. With the BR-5000N, an alarm is displayed automatically whenever there is a high-density specimen or a high level of obstruction that falls outside the tolerance.
1.2 Features
1.Handles hemolysis and turbidity easily
Careful selection of the dual wavelength color filters and the combination of electronic technology minimize the interference of hemolysis and turbidity.
2.Easy operation
Microprocessor enables the Auto Calibration and easy operation. And after the equipment is calibrated with a standard solution, you can measure specimen without using the standard solution after that.
3.Easy set of the sample tube
A serum gauge is provided on the surface of BR-5000N, which indicates the proper sample volume to be inspected. Only simple action is required to set the capillary tube into the holder.
4.Alarm lamp informs user of abnormalities
Alarm lamp signals either abnormal value or situations such as burned out of the bulb, bilirubin concentration of 30mg/ or more, or high hemolysis of 250mg/ or more.

5. The print out by the printer
The measurement data can be printed out by the option printer.
(The measurement data are memorized up to 100 samples in maximum while the power switch in being turned on.)
The printer connector is based on Centronics standard.
6. The equipment can be connected to computer by serial interface.
The measurement data can be sent to computer through RS-232C interface.
7.mg/ - and μmol/ℓ -indication
One of mg/ - and μmol/ℓ -indication can be selected by the control panel.
8.Easy to operate by on touch key.
Normal measurement can be performed by touching start button after inserting the capillary tube to the capillary tube holder.
9.Compact design
BR-5000N has a compact design that does not occupy much space.
