Learn more about the AU 680 clinical chemistry analyzer's product features.

The AU680 intuitive graphical user interface includes:

• Sample tracking
• Patient statistics
• User-customized menu
• Color alerts to highlight system operating conditions

AU-proven reliability enables greater uptime with quick and easy parts replacement

• No tools required
• No more than three steps, no longer than 60 seconds, for parts such as sample and reagent probes, mixers and syringes
• Online help videos guide the operator on proper technique when performing maintenance procedures and parts replacement, which enables greater system uptime

Additionally, the AU680 chemistry analyzer provides:

• Integration of pre-analytical automation and immunoassay is attainable with AU680 Direct Track Sampling to Power Processor and connectivity to UniCel DxI 600/800 systems
• Command Central integrated with REMISOL Advance^* enables remote monitoring of and access to instruments and automation consoles from a single workstation, optimizing laboratory management and improving decision-making
• Cooled STAT compartment provides one-button STAT interrupt and advanced auto QC and calibration capabilities
• High-precision microsampling provides accurate and precise results
• Priority sample repeat/reflex reduces turnaround time for critical patients  
• Long-lasting ISEs minimize downtime and reduce operating costs
• Large 150-sample rack loader provides for optimal sample processing during peak workload periods
• Whole blood sampling capability is used for HbA1c testing
