Product Overview
The refurbished Beckman Coulter AU5800 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer is a modular, fully automated, random-access system designed for high- and ultra-high-volume hospital and reference laboratories. The AU5800 family combines continuous rack loading, priority sample handling, refrigerated reagent storage, automated repeat and reflex capabilities, and optional single- or dual-flow-cell indirect ISE testing.
AU5800 systems are available in one- through four-module configurations. Photometric throughput scales from up to 2,000 tests per hour on the AU5810 to up to 8,000 tests per hour on the AU5840. With the optional dual ISE configuration, maximum combined throughput ranges from up to 3,800 to 9,800 tests per hour, depending on the number of analytical modules.
This is a refurbished analyzer. The exact model configuration, number of analytical modules, ISE configuration, software version, automation hardware, included accessories, refurbishment scope, warranty and availability can vary by unit. Confirm the complete offered configuration with Jant Pharmacal before ordering.

Scalable throughput across one- to four-module AU5800 configurations.
Up to 9,800 Tests/Hour
Maximum combined throughput on the four-module system with optional dual ISE.
400-Sample Loading Capacity
Two 20-rack input trays support continuous loading of up to 400 tubes.
AU5800 Series Configurations
The AU5800 family uses a modular architecture. Select the configuration according to annual testing volume, peak-hour demand, assay mix, reagent capacity, space, utilities and redundancy requirements.

AU5800 or AU680?
Both are automated random-access AU chemistry platforms, but they are designed for different laboratory volumes. The AU680 is a single floor-standing analyzer for mid- to high-volume work. The AU5800 is a modular core-laboratory platform that begins above the AU680 in throughput and scales across four configurations.
| Feature | AU680 | AU5800 Series |
|---|---|---|
| Intended Workflow | Mid- to high-volume laboratory | High- to ultra-high-volume hospital or reference laboratory |
| Photometric Throughput | Up to 800/hour | Up to 2,000–8,000/hour, depending on modules |
| Maximum with ISE | Up to 1,200/hour with optional ISE | Up to 3,800–9,800/hour with optional dual ISE |
| Routine Loading Capacity | Up to 150 samples | Up to 400 samples; 200 when connected as documented to laboratory automation |
| Architecture | Single analyzer platform | One to four analytical modules |
| Reagent Positions | 60 R1 and 48 R2 positions | 54 R1 and 54 R2 positions per module |
Analyzer selection should also consider assay mix, peak-hour workload, turnaround-time targets, available space, water and electrical requirements, staffing, redundancy, automation, software and service support.

The AU5800 is a modular, fully automated, random-access clinical chemistry system designed for high- and ultra-high-volume hospital and reference laboratories. The family includes one- through four-module configurations.
The model number identifies the number of analytical modules. The AU5810 has one module, the AU5820 has two, the AU5830 has three and the AU5840 has four. Each module contributes up to 2,000 photometric tests per hour, so maximum photometric throughput scales from 2,000 to 8,000 tests per hour.
Photometric throughput ranges from up to 2,000 tests per hour on an AU5810 to up to 8,000 on an AU5840. With optional dual ISE, maximum combined throughput ranges from up to 3,800 to 9,800 tests per hour, depending on the model.
ISE is optional and can be configured with one or two flow cells. Confirm whether ISE is installed, how many flow cells are present and whether the complete ISE system is operational on the specific refurbished unit offered.
The standard rack-feeder configuration supports up to 400 samples in forty 10-position racks. The documented maximum is 200 samples when the AU5800 is connected to laboratory automation. A separate priority port accommodates up to 20 samples.
Each analytical module provides 54 refrigerated R1 and 54 refrigerated R2 bottle positions. The number of simultaneous analytes is up to 57 on the AU5810, 111 on the AU5820 and 120 on the AU5830 or AU5840, including ISE.
The AU680 is a single analyzer with up to 800 photometric tests per hour and capacity for up to 150 routine samples. The AU5800 is a modular high-volume system that begins at up to 2,000 photometric tests per hour and scales to 8,000, with up to 400 samples loaded in its standard rack-feeder configuration.
The AU5800 can support applicable therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs-of-abuse and other homogeneous assay applications. Actual testing capability depends on the selected reagents, application parameters, regulatory status, calibration, quality control and laboratory verification or validation.
The platform permits laboratories to configure assay parameters. Compatibility, application settings, calibration, quality control, regulatory status and validation requirements are reagent-specific. Review the applicable reagent and analyzer documentation before implementing an open-channel method.
The AU5800 supports an optional laboratory automation connecting kit. Compatibility depends on the analyzer configuration, installed hardware and software, interface requirements and the specific automation system. Confirm the offered system before describing it as automation-ready.
Confirm the exact model, serial number, number of analytical modules, ISE configuration, software and controller, automation hardware, included accessories, refurbishment and maintenance records, site requirements, installation, training, warranty and service coverage.
