Diagnostica Stago Announces US Launch of STA® Compact Max Hemostasis Testing System

Diagnostica Stago, Inc., continues to expand its world-renowned STA® Automated Hemostasis Analyzer family with the US launch of the STA Compact Max Hemostasis Testing System. STA Compact Max benefits from the same robust, reliable coagulation testing technology as Stago's industry-leading STA Compact Analyzer. The new Microsoft® Windows®-based STA Compact Max with integrated Expert Module creates an ideal coagulation testing solution for mid to high volume laboratories.

Maximum Innovation for Confidence
The new touch screen user interface provides intuitive easy-to-use operation at any skill level, and seamless integration into the lab. Innovation is extended further with STA Compact Max's integrated Expert Module for standardized results and complete control. The Expert Module offers features such as: auto-verification, expert rules, advanced QC system, and electronic lot conversion.

Maximum Performance Time and Time Again
Stago's gold standard, patented VDS (Viscosity-based Detection System), integrated in STA Compact Max, provides highly accurate and precise results, even for weak clots. This electromechanical clot detection technology is not affected by common interferences like colored plasmas, and ensures standardized results across all STA Series Hemostasis Analyzers. Combined with high-quality, fully traceable reagents Stago instruments offer maximum sensitivity for routine and specialized clotting, chromogenic and immunological tests.

Maximum Reliability from Trusted Coagulation Experts
With over 25 years of exclusive coagulation focus, and more than 400 million worldwide tests annually entrusted to Stago's VDS technology, you can trust that the STA Compact Max was designed to deliver the highest quality results. In addition to dependability and standardization of results across all STA Series Hemostasis Testing Systems, you can depend on personal, dedicated Stago support whenever and wherever you need it.

Maximum Efficiency to Accomplish More
STA Compact Max can improve your lab's workflow efficiency by offering time-saving pre-calibrated assays and pre-assayed quality controls, on-board, cooled reagent storage and optimized, simple maintenance. Samples, reagents and disposables are barcoded for full traceability, and extended reagent stability allow true walk-away operation.
