Equipped with the SYNCHRON CX®4 PRO —
which includes many of today’s most advanced and
automated technologies — your laboratory can
improve its specialty testing process dramatically.
The SYNCHRON CX
®
4 PRO consolidates DATs,
TDMs, STAT chemistries, proteins and other specialty
tests, such as thyroid, HbA1c and lipids, into one,
easy-to-use workstation.
Increase accuracy and analytical
efficiency with:
• Automatic clot detection and correction for
uninterrupted workflow
• Automatic checking of serum indices
(hemolysis, icterus, lipemia) for high-quality
test results and process step reduction
• On-board auto-dilution (for
immunoproteins and urine chemistries)
for reduced sample handling
• Flat-panel monitor for improved
operator viewing and enhanced
ease-of-use
• Advanced modem diagnostics to
minimize service needs
• Throughput up to 225 tests per hour
for fast sample turnaround
• 24 on-board chemistries for
workstation consolidation
