MQ-8000 Analyzer incl. Barcodereader

Highly efficient HbA1c analysis for therapy and diagnosis using HPLC (reference method) with highest precision (CV<1%) in only 45 seconds.

Ideally suited to high throughput: only 45 seconds in Fast mode, 60 seconds in Normal mode (correct HbA1c in case of Hb variant) and 100 seconds in Variant mode (detects and prints the Hb variant incl. correct HbA1c) per result.

• No interference with the most common haemoglobin variants (HbC, HbS, HbD and HbE). Three additional Hb variants, such as HbQ-Tl, HbG-Cs and HbG-Tp, are also detected and reported, providing greater confidence in patient treatment because of correct HbA1c result.
• More choice of analysing samples with mode switching between Fast, Normal and Variant Mode.
• High quality column separation for reliable results.
• No impact on interferences (up to a certain concentration) for aldehyde Hb, fetal Hb, acetylated Hb and carbamylated Hb, ensuring better, more accurate results.
• Cap piercing - pipettes from closed primary tubes for more security.
• Dilution and whole blood sample Auto-switching for easy operation.
• STAT mode - special single sample holder allows easy measurement of an emergency sample during rack operation.
• Loading capacity of 100 sample tubes for increased efficiency.
• Pipets only approx. 4 μL whole blood - no pre-dilution or haemolysis necessary.
• Internal barcode reading - time saving as no barcode label alignment is necessary.
• Operator management system with operator ID registration, authorised system access and printing and recording of the operator's name/ID on the test result for increased safety.
• Big colour iPad-like touchscreen for very easy access to operate the instrument.
• Connectable to LIS, Internal Thermal Printer, USB.
