How it Works
The SmartChem® 600 uses direct read photometry, utilizing a true discrete, direct read measurement system and reusable, high-purity optical cuvettes, eliminating compromised sample measurement.
SmartChem® simplifies your laboratory's work in a short series of steps:
- Load samples and reagents in your SmartChem®
- Set up your test
- Load your work program in the SmartChem® software
- Launch your programmed routine
- Get the results
Additionally, SmartChem® cuvettes are being washed after each use, making them available for the next reaction/measurement and reducing your dependence on consumables and their availability.
System Components
With capacity to load up to 100 reagent bottles, SmartChem® 600 is a truly versatile analyzer to automate your laboratory's routine and free your personnel to address other important tasks.
Available Configurations
The SmartChem® system is modular, allowing you to configure your analyze.
