Blood Grouping Analyzer
For the first time, it is possible to directly store raw data as colour digital images of the agglutination plates. The user can view each agglutination pattern as a single well or microplate overview on screen. The images can be stored on hard drive or DVD, or printed out. Long term storage of the data helps with GLP conformance documentation.

Features of PK7300
- Store raw data as colour digital images of the agglutination plates. The images can be stored on hard drive or DVD, or printed out. Long term storage of the data helps with GLP conformance documentation.
- The haemagglutination result is automatically calculated based on the measurement of five different parameters – giving several safety checks on each result.
- User-friendly Windows 2000© software – based on that established with the best selling Beckman Coulter series of AU chemistry analysers.
- Two independent probes are used for plasma and red cell pipetting. Clot and bubble detection add extra performance protection.
- Reproducibility of results has been enhanced with optimisation and control of the reaction conditions.
- Peltier elements maintain incubator temperature anywhere from room temperature up to 40 oC thus eliminating any gradient across the chamber.
- A built in barcode reader checks primary tubes using ISBT128 or any other commonly used barcode system.
- The PK7300 is 25% faster than its predecessor, processing 300 samples per hour.
- Clear cost savings for large scale testing, reduced cost of reagents – typically less than 1% of the cost for conventional testing.
