Rapid Complete Metabolic Panel
The Abaxis Piccolo Xpress is a great rapid laboratory tool that we use in our lab and patient clinic! We mainly use it for the CMP panel but it can do quite a bit and with a small sample of blood, too. It is very easy to use so it makes training staff quick and easy. When we first got it we had a small issue with doing the first QC and the Abaxis staff was very helpful!

This equipment is a good tool for who wants evaluate a range of blood parameters and needs the results in short period (~12 minutes). You can use a variety of samples depending from the withdraw method. It is very easy to transport the equipment to the field of the experiment without negative consequences in the operation system. And the support after sale worked well when we requested.
