Beckman Coulter has unveiled the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer, the most productive immunoassay analyser per footprint. The DxI 9000 can run up to 215 tests per hour per square meter (tests/hr/m2
). Innovations within the DxI 9000 address
today’s speed, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and menu expansion demands. ZeroDaily Maintenance highlights the embedded innovations that drive the DxI 9000 Analyzer’s uptime performance. Early adopters attest to ZeroDaily Maintenance redefining their workday with no daily maintenance requirements, thereby reducing annual maintenance routines by up to 96%. PrecisionVision Technology can inspect, identify and prevent erroneous reporting
in real time. Its automated safeguards include tube identification, cap detection, tip check, sample aspiration and delivery, residual wash volume, and substrate volume. Remote service and diagnostics solution, DxS IntelliServe, connects with DxI 9000 Analyzers to monitor data and error trends, enabling proactive system service, as well as allowing issues to be resolved with real-time monitoring and remote operation.
