The skyla
TM
Clinical Chemistry Analyzer
provides
clinical testing laboratories of medical facilities
and
clinics with an in-vitro clinical chemistry diagnostic
tool
that is compact, portable, and reports
rapid results. The
portable design of the clinical chemistry analyzer
utilizes
precision photometric
measurement technology,
combined with the use of specific reagent discs. The
reagent disc contains a set of dry assay reagents
that are
used in the quantitative testing of various biomarkers in
the blood sample.
Features of the clinical chemistry analyzer include:

Compatibility with lithium-
heparinized whole blood
samples without the need for sample dilution.

Operation by a colored touchscreen panel.

Fully automated system for simple operation.

Rapid analysis, reporting
test results in approximately
15 minutes.

Testing a maximum of 15 blood
clinical chemistry
markers in a single analysis.

Power-on self-test capability, ensuring
instrument
stability.

Internal quality control functionality, ensur
ing
reliable test results.

Built-in thermal printer for immediate printing of
the
test results.

A USB interface for connecting to an external printer
,
or exporting the test results.

A RS232 interface for connecting with
external
instruments or computers.

A USB interface supporting an
externally connected
barcode scanner for patient record numbers.

A RJ45 LAN port for communication with
external
PC networks.
The reagent disc is a round plastic disc that contains dry
assay
reagents. The automated operation protocol of the
