SAT 450
The AMS Alliance SAT 450 is a fully automated, random-access clinical analyzer designed for both routine and specialized chemistry tests on samples such as serum, plasma, urine, and other fluids. It accurately quantifies metabolites, electrolytes, proteins, and drugs, providing clinicians with essential insights into toxicology and patient health. The analyzer maximizes laboratory throughput, enhances operational efficiency, reduces manual handling and reruns, and improves operator safety by minimizing biohazard exposure and cross-contamination. With performance suited for special chemistries, the SAT 450 complements larger platforms dedicated primarily to routine testing.

How it Works
Fully Automated for Maximized Throughput & Improved Operator Safety
The SAT 450 is highly automated and once the parameters are set in the software, the user can monitor testing without hands-on interaction. To operate a test, samples are loaded into the machine and the user programs the required testing. A probe measures a small portion of the sample and places it into a reaction vessel. Reagents are added from the on-board, refrigerated supply. Incubation time is allowed, if required; then ISE testing determines the concentration of analyte. Results are displayed on the software screen for the user.

Software
The SAT 450 software simplifies the analysis process and provides the user concise guidance through the operating functions. All parameters and settings are completely user programmable, and up to 999 methods can be stored. To conduct a test run, the user will select all of the testing parameters, including pre-dilution and re-dilution ratios, sample re-run options and reflex tests. When all of the parameters are set, the testing will automatically run, allowing the user to work on other tasks and return when the testing is complete.
During the testing cycle, the user can view the real time status of samples and reagents, and monitor for error messages, temperature control, and use the STOP, START, or PAUSE functions as needed. Once testing is complete, the test reaction curves, test calibration curves and Levy-Jennings and Youden QC statistics are available in the software.
