BN ProSpec System
Uncompromising performance for plasma protein analysis
The BN ProSpec® is a dedicated, compact system that offers a consolidated menu of specialty and routine reagents for reliable plasma protein testing including cardiac risk assessment, kidney diseases, nutritional assessment and iron and anemia assessment as well as innovative markers such as monoclonal kappa and lambda free light chains, Cystatin C and Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT).
- Ideal for low- to mid-volume plasma protein throughput
- Comprehensive menu from one source: Over 64 assay protocols available for determination of various sample types
- Optimal alignment of systems and reagents
- Refrigerated onboard storage of controls and reagents
- Assistance with clinical interpretation through our innovative range of assessment programs available for Protis® IT Solution.
Features & Benefits
The BN ProSpec® System uses our proven nephelometric technology for the determination of a large variety of assays which support the management of disease states such as iron and anemia assessment, gammopathies / immune system, kidney disease, and many others.
The BN ProSpec System is a fully automated benchtop analyzer which combines efficient workflow with cost-effective determinations for plasma protein testing needs:
- Patient-oriented sample processing for efficient workflow
- Convenient handling due to onboard storage of reagents and controls
- Highly reliable patient results with optimized system components
The BN ProSpec provides you with:
Increased workflow efficiency
- Average effective throughput of 65 tests/hour
- Onboard capacity for up to 1.5 hour walkaway convenience
- 24-hour onboard refrigerated reagent storage to eliminate removal of controls and reagents
- Enhanced onboard stability – generally up to 6 weeks for reagents and 1 week for controls
- Barcode identification for primary sample tubes, standards, controls and reagents
- Sample auto-dilution and configurable, automatic repeat measurements for fast results with less operator intervention
- Secure interruption of assay runs for calibration and reloading – no loss of data
- Specimen level-detection
Confidence in results
- Optimal alignment of reagents and system
- High reliability with antigen-excess security
- Proven nephelometric technology
