Product Overview
The HORIBA ABX Pentra C400 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer is a compact, fully automated benchtop system designed for routine and specialty chemistry testing. The analyzer provides colorimetric throughput of up to 300 tests per hour and total throughput of up to 420 tests per hour when configured with the ISE module.
Continuous sample loading, STAT capability, automated pre- and post-dilution, automatic rerun and barcode-based sample identification support day-to-day laboratory workflow. The system accommodates up to 55 onboard parameters and provides 40 user-defined channels for compatible applications.
Jant catalog number HOR5300001394 identifies the Pentra C400 listing. Contact Jant Pharmacal to confirm current availability, the included ISE configuration, analyzer software, reagent menu, open-channel applications, installation requirements, training, warranty and service support.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pentra C400 provides up to 300 colorimetric tests per hour. Maximum throughput is up to 420 tests per hour when the analyzer is configured with the ISE module.
HORIBA literature describes an ISE configuration for sodium, potassium and chloride, but the current Jant listing does not clearly identify whether the module is included with catalog HOR5300001394. Confirm the quoted configuration before ordering.
The analyzer uses six racks with 10 sample positions each, providing 60 positions. Continuous loading allows additional samples to be introduced during operation.
HORIBA literature lists up to 55 onboard parameters with backup availability. It also lists 52 reagent positions, including 44 refrigerated positions, and 40 user-defined channels.
The system provides user-defined channels for compatible applications. Each assay requires the correct parameters, reagents, calibrators, controls and laboratory verification. Confirm application availability with Jant before ordering.
The platform supports uni- and bidirectional connectivity. Confirm the required interface, computer, middleware, mapping and validation process for your laboratory environment.
Confirm the analyzer and ISE configuration, external cooling unit, bench and service clearances, electrical requirements, water and waste arrangement, operating environment, computer, printer, LIS connection, delivery access and service coverage.
