AU Series

Olympus AU series Chemistry Analyzers.

Olympus AU400e

The AU400e is ideal as a primary chemistry analyzer for small to medium size hospitals and laboratories or as a dedicated specialty analyzer for larger institutions. Automate and consolidate chemistry testing with Olympus’ 125 test menu including chemistry, urine chemistry, specific proteins, esoteric chemistries and tests for therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs-of-abuse, and thyroid function. With random access throughput of up to 400 photometric tests per hour (up to 800 with electrolytes), on-board menu of over 40 tests and user-definable sample handling options, the AU400 delivers efficiency for real world lab needs.

General CharacteristicsOnly Olympus standardizes chemistry testing for low to very high volume laboratories. This translates to higher productivity, increased efficiency and greater cost savings for your lab. Up to 400 photometric tests per hour and up to 800 tests per hour with electrolytes. Immediate STAT interrupt with HCFA basic metabolic eight test panel results available within five minutes.
