ABCA2 Automated Breath CO2 Analyser Features:
- Full PC control of all system via Windows based software.
- Compatible with LIMS systems.
- Optional Bar code reader for secure patient identification and GLP compliance
- Sercon XYZ sampler with five 48 place racks for 12ml vials meaning a total of 240 vials can be loaded at a time. With the bar code reader installed samples positions can be reloaded providing a high number of consecutive analyses.
- A breath container may be analysed up to 5 times i.e. a stored sample may be re-analysed if a further measurement is requested.
- Internal Reference Gas Injection for ease of calibration and laboratory quality control tests e.g. instrument linearity checks. Mimics a real sample by traveling through the complete sample flow path.
- High quality regulator for gas control, digital flow sensor, normally closed valves configured to save gas and preserve consumables in the event of a power failure.
- Total software control of the instrument system and data processing. Allows storage of sample analysis protocols and mass spectrometer tuning conditions to comply with good laboratory practice
- Standby mode to preserve consumable life during periods of low use.
- Inter-file import / export facility from instrument PC to laboratory server or internet (allows rapid updating of software or transfer to common spreadsheet packages).
Applications:
- Fat malabsorption, pancreatic function, lactose intolerance, bile acid circulation, gastric emptying, liver function and metabolic turnover rate measurements.
