Integrated adjustable touchscreen monitor
Additional handheld barcode scanner
Moveable working table
Card drawer for
240 ID-Cards
Card waste for
320 ID-Cards
System liquid and
liquid waste area Walk-Away The IH-1000 system is able to work independently for a minimum of 6 hours up to 9 hours (depending on the test profile). ■ Card stock capacity for 240 ID-Cards - up to 20 different cards can be loaded at the same time ■ Ability to load 28 reagent vials ■ Loading capacity for up to 180 samples
Drawer for 240 ID-Cards
Continuous System Access
Continuous sample and reagent loading. System liquid can be refilled at any time while the system is processing.
Integrated Back-up System
IH-1000 provides its own back-up system to ensure fast, 2 independent pipetting arms, separate transport automated sample processing at all times. arm for ID-Cards
■ 2 independent pipetting arms
■ 3 centrifuges ■ 2 integrated PCs
Immediate STAT Handling
The multi-module concept provides an immediate STAT function. The multi-module concept ensures the highest range of Continuous loading worktable flexibility in sample processing to be able to start emergency samples in a minimum time span.
Automatic Start Function
IH-1000 is equipped with an automatic start function. Only 3 steps are necessary to process samples: ■ Load ID-Cards and reagent vials ■ Maintain system liquid ■ Load samples Loading area for up to 180 samples and 28 reagent vials Reduced Time to Overall Sample Results The IH-1000 system’s high flexibility makes it possible to perform strictly sample-oriented processing, dramatically reducing time to overall sample results.
Optimized for Small Volumes
3 centrifuges With the special tubes for small blood volumes and pediatric samples, it is possible to work with a volume of just 50 µl.
Adjustable Touchscreen Monitor The system is equipped with an adjustable touchscreen monitor mounted on a moveable arm. The software is an intuitively designed, user friendly Special tubes for pediatric samples and small blood volumes touchscreen interface.
Wireless Connection IH-1000 is equipped with a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi connection for wireless computer connection.
All loaded reagents are actively monitored by the software.
Resources lacking for additional loaded samples are displayed.
Automated Maintenance All necessary maintenance steps are fully automated and controlled by the system. Minimum user intervention is needed to perform maintenance on the system. Reagent stock management IH-Com Data Management and Result Interpretation Software
