Advanced pre-analytical sample quality (PSI) checks and smart sample management for confidence in results
- System detects and manages unsuitable samples to reduce retests and reflex testing.
- Optical methodology displays clot formation for evaluation of fragile clots.
- Smart PSI technology detects and uses a common aliquot to avoid sample waste.
- Gain-switching technology enables precise testing and reporting of samples that have high levels of interferences, e.g., highly lipemic samples.
Sophisticated operating system that detects potential issues before they become problems and guides troubleshooting
- System detects impending issues and gives the operator guidance on corrective actions.
- Intelligent sample flag management and guidance help technicians quickly identify and resolve issues.
- Advanced audit trail enhances traceability, including consumables and error traceability.
Automation scalability
Flexible automation solutions for high-performance hemostasis testing in various testing environments
CN-3000 and CN-6000 Systems are compatible with a variety of configurations to automate middle and high volumes of hemostasis testing. For example, adding an optional sampler can further increase the systems’ capacity in a stand-alone configuration. You can even integrate as many hemostasis analyzers as you need with Aptio Automation, FlexLab™ and FlexLab™ X for high performance in a single- or multidisciplinary, automated lab setting.

Evidence
"The CN-6000 System has improved our workflow and enabled us to deliver results faster. Since sample analysis ends once the clot is formed, we can obtain results faster. Other hemostasis systems continue analysis for 180 seconds regardless of the clot formation."
