AU480

AU480 Clinical Chemistry System
Beckman Coulter

The AU480 is the ideal primary chemistry analyzer for small- to medium-sized hospitals and laboratories, or as a dedicated specialty chemistry or STAT analyzer for larger institutions. With throughput of up to 400 photometric tests per hour (up to 800 with ISEs), increased onboard testing, reduced sample volume and easy operation, the AU480 delivers efficiency for laboratories around the world.
