Echo Lumena

The Echo Lumena from Immucor is a compact, fully automated immunohaematology analyser. Developed for laboratories with low to medium sample volumes, it automates a broad range of routine and specialised tests. Its walkaway concept allows staff to attend to other tasks while analyses are running.

Fast results and flexible workflows

ABO/RhD typing and antibody screening can be completed in just 23 minutes. Samples and consumables can be loaded continuously during operation. Urgent samples can be prioritised, while automatic reflex testing follows laboratory-defined rules.

Broad immunohaematology test menu

The test menu includes ABO/RhD typing, ABO confirmation, Rh/K phenotyping, weak D testing, antibody screening, direct antiglobulin testing (DAT) and IgG crossmatching. Three different panels with 14 pre-fixed donor cells each are available for antibody identification.

Capture technology for antibody detection

Established Immucor Capture technology provides sensitive and specific detection of clinically relevant IgG antibodies. Multiple process controls for each test and sample, together with traceable reagents, support quality assurance. Capture plates pre-coated with donor cells also reduce reagent-handling requirements.

Easy operation and serviceability

A clear touchscreen interface helps staff learn and operate the system. Twelve user-replaceable components and the option of remote technical support can help reduce downtime.

Connectivity and reduced waste

The ImmuLINK data management solution can connect instruments across laboratory sites, enabling secure access to results even where different laboratory information systems are in use.

According to the manufacturer, Echo Lumena generates almost 75% less biohazardous reagent waste than column agglutination systems in the stated comparison scenario.

Echo Lumena is suited to laboratories seeking automated immunohaematology testing with continuous loading, urgent-sample processing and a broad test menu.
