Analysis system Acridinium ester

Siemens Advia Centaur XP

Siemens Advia Centaur XP Analysis System
With Siemens Healthineers services and maintenance until 02/2022
Advanced AE immunoassay technology
Meet clinical needs with acridinium ester (AE) technology that provides the flexibility and sensitivity needed for new and innovative assays.
Comprehensive diagnostic clarification of various disease patterns thanks to a test menu with over 70 different assays.
Simplified inventory management and reduced costs by using the same ready-to-use reagents on all ADVIA Centaur analysers.

Simplified operation, continuous operation
All samples, reagents and consumables can be loaded and unloaded on the fly.
Easier training and operation thanks to an intuitive, icon-based user interface.
Less operator intervention as daily maintenance is low and the system does not need to be cleaned monthly or booted up daily.
New and updated test definitions can be read in by the customer by simply scanning the 2D barcodes included in the usage information.

Consistent, predictable turnaround time (TAT) and accuracy
Up to 240 tests/hour for short turnaround time even during peak periods.
Rapid prioritisation of emergency samples possible at any time thanks to a dedicated access (STAT port).
Disposable pipetting tips prevent carry-over and contamination of samples.
Automatically perform repeat and confirmatory testing for reactive hepatitis B surface antigen samples using Siemens Healthineers SMART algorithms.

Direct connectivity
Laedpfx Ashr Rw Isgnjh
Adapt to different sample volumes with easy connection to Aptio and VersaCell® X3 automation solutions.
Efficient operation thanks to diagnostic IT including CentraLink® data management system
Atellica Process Manager and Smart Remote Services for Diagnostics
Direct pipetting from the automation solution through point-in-space technology.
Shorter turnaround times for emergency samples thanks to a dedicated STAT port that allows front loading of emergency samples even when connected to an automation solution.
