Product Overview
The Mindray BS-480 Chemistry Analyzer is a floor-standing, fully automated, discrete random-access clinical chemistry system for medium- to high-volume laboratories. It provides constant photometric throughput of up to 400 tests per hour and supports general chemistry and compatible drugs-of-abuse testing workflows.
The analyzer provides 90 sample positions, including 60 barcode-readable positions, and 80 reagent positions. Samples and reagents can be added or removed while the system is operating. Automated liquid-level and clot or aggregate detection, probe collision protection, refrigerated reagent storage and bidirectional LIS connectivity support routine laboratory workflow.
Jant catalog number MTBS480 identifies the BS-480 listing. Contact Jant Pharmacal to confirm current analyzer availability, the included configuration, optional ISE module, chemistry and toxicology assay menu, open-channel requirements, installation, training, warranty and service coverage.
