Good.. Service and care is good. Yet to be improved in research
Hormone Analysis
Good instrument.. More number off calibrations is irritated the customer's while the other MNC competitors are using 4 . There's no solution for some results variations like , random fluctuations in T4

Will not buy again.
immunoassay
Purchased a new Beckman Access 2 in 2020 to assay reproductive hormones in a small fertility clinic, replacing an Immulite 1000. The Immulite 1000 lasted over 15 years. It was a reliable workhorse unlike the new Beckman Access 2. The Beckman Access 2 is NOT a truly random access model. It will not allow any new sample to be added until it is done with whatever process it is running. The machine is not environmentally friendly, it must be kept running at all times to keep the refrigeration. It is noisy. One critical mechanical part broke within a week after installation. It is unreliable. Every few months, some mechanical part breaks with no good explanation. Results of the assay at times are dangerously faulty. QC is regularly out of range, requiring repeat calibration and re-running the QC, i.e. increasing the actual cost of running an assay. Technical support is of no help. Their algorithm for technical support is repeat QC with newly reconstituted QC materials. If QC is still out, recalibrate and repeat QC. In other words, keep repeating calibration and QC until the QC is in. That speaks for the imprecision of the assay. Yearly service contract is expensive, with an official price tag of over $18,000 a year. With unhelpful technical support and no weekend or holiday field technician available, essentially the service contract is the price of two annual preventive maintenance. With the machine being so unreliable, one cannot skip the service contract. So the buyer is forced to cough up an obscene amount of money every year for a service contract to a seller that sells a machine that promises to malfunction. Think of the absurdity and inequity here.

Equipment is good, value for money.
Sample processing
Equipment performs well with sample processing within TAT, equipment servicing is good. Abnormal results are given accurately.

Ongoing support of Beckman Coulter Medical Affairs facilitated implementation.
Standardize hsTroponin testing throughout the network
The most affordable alternative to standardize hsTroponin in a large health system of 11 hospital clinical laboratories who have not standardized chemistry equipment. The support received from the vendor assisting with education for providers, nursing and laboratory staff was extremely valuable and well received. Implementation was successful.

So many more competitive instruments available in market.
Immunology
Product is extremely good but working expenses are huge for this machine. Kindly work on this area to make it economically profitable or customers in the diagnostic field.

Great test menu, amazing after the sale support. Good addition to our lab.
Analyzing serum samples for immunoassay tests
We needed an analyzer with a good test menu to round out our laboratories offerings. In particular we needed Thyroglobulin, and the Thyroglobulin antibodies. This fit our needs. We were able to run these tests with SHBG and DHEA-S. It has been a great addition to our lab. The sales team is excellent with great support after the sale.They are always checking in to see how things are going. The set up and training staff were amazing too. We have had a great experience with this.

With a throughput of 400 photometric tests per hour (up to 800 with electrolytes) and an on board capacity of 63 different analytes the AU480 Chemistry System is the ideal main analyzer for small to medium sized laboratories.
The AU480 Chemistry System can also fit as a special chemistry or STAT analyzer in large laboratories as well.
TheAU480 Chemistry System maintains many features of its predecessor the AU400 that made it successful; long life electrodes, low maintenance and superior spot photometer technology.
AU480 Chemistry System Features:
- New and intuitive graphical user interface.
- Plug and play calibration via 2-D barcode.
- Efficiency - Reagent reduction and Low consumable usage.
- Microsampling ideal for pediatrics.
- Continuous loading sample feeder.
- Barcoded racks to define different sample materials.
- 80 samples on board at any time.
- Automatic repeat and reflex capability.
- Dedicated STAT rotor with 22 positions and integrated barcode reader.
- Full STAT capabilities during routine operation.
- 76 refrigerated reagent compartments.
- Cuvette wheel with low maintenance.
- Best in class ISE.
