Complete Product Description

The Beckman Coulter IMMAGE Immunochemistry System gives you four proven, high-performance detection technologies to perform accurate testing for specific proteins and therapeutic drugs. It also delivers a wealth of high-efficiency capabilities that allow your laboratory to streamline its operations and increase its throughput.

This high-productivity design enables numerous functions to be performed simultaneously in each five-second system cycle, including calibration, sample processing and analysis, sample and/or reagent pipetting and cuvette washing.

Beckman Coulter IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Feature Set

• Rate Nelphelometry delivers timely, accurate analysis of specific proteins
• Rate Inhibition Nephelometry detects the presence and level of therapeutic drugs
• Rate NIPIA (Near Infrared Particle Immunoassay) component increases analytical sensitivity and expands the IMMAGE system?s test menu to include high-sensitivity assays.
• Rate Inhibition NIPIA accurately detects low molecular weight therapeutic drugs
• Patented dynamic blanking methodology minimizes the chances of interferences from non-specific reactions.
• Integrated antigen excess solution eliminates the need to prepare antigen excess solution.
• Single-point calibration verification
• Automatic optics control is performed before and after every run
• Automatic dilution and rerun of out-of-range samples allows instrument to switch to appropriate sample dilution and rerun the test when a result is out of range
• Semi-permanent cuvettes provide labor and time savings
• 100 percent liquid ready-to-use reagents improve efficiency
• Up to 18-24 month open-bottle reagent stability
• User Defined Reagents Capabilities extend menu flexibility
• Minimal daily maintenance of approximately one minute saves labor and time

Beckman Coulter IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Sample Handling

• Throughput of 180 tests per hour (maximum)
• One sample, one run for all chemistries eliminates batching
• Automatic dilution and rerun of out-of-range samples
• Up to 50 different UDR chemistries
• All liquid, ready-to-use bar-coded reagents
• Integrated antigen excess solution

Beckman Coulter IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Data Management

• Single-point calibration verification
• Automatic reagent tracking and inventory
• Flexible user interface including keyboard, mouse
• Onboard sample barcode provides positive sample identification
• Patented dynamic blanking

The Beckman Coulter IMMAGE Immunochemistry System is a fully-automated random access immunochemistry system that functions both as a high-speed protein analyzer and TDM analyzer. It features four high-performance detection technologies. Beckman Coulter's proven rate nephelometry, the industry standard for precision and reliability, consistently delivers timely, accurate analysis of protein and drug analytes. Near-infrared particle immunoassay system (NIPIA), increases the analytical sensitivity nearly a thousand-fold to address lower molecular weight analytes, such as digoxin, ferritin and IgE.

This high-productivity design enables numerous functions to be performed simultaneously in each five-second system cycle, including calibration, sample processing and analysis, sample and/or reagent pipetting and cuvette washing.
