Anchored around a set of core features that set the AU systems apart from the competition, the AU5800 series continues to follow high standards of AU reliability and maximum uptime with even more flexibility. Hardware consumables, reagents and operating software are standardized across the AU family to minimize training requirements and streamline inventory management.
The AU5800 is engineered for connectivity with Beckman Coulter’s Power Processor which allows for the integration of chemistry, immunoassay and clinical information systems. Additionally, PROService* connectivity provides a remote instrument diagnostic solution that enables the Beckman Call Center and Field Service Engineers the remote transfer, monitoring and analysis of data from connected Beckman Coulter Systems.
The comprehensive AU test menu consists of more than 125 convenient, bar-coded, liquid reagents that are standardized across the entire AU family of chemistry systems. The AU5800 employs three transportation lanes for intelligent sample management and a bypass lane provides flexible options for sample transportation by processing STAT samples and critical repeats prior to routine sample racks.
