BFT II AnalyzerHigh-performance analyzer for the low-volume lab

BFT II Analyzer

BFT II Analyzer

The BFT II Analyzer combines the advantages of mechanical and photo-optical clot-detecting principles by employing a unique turbodensitometric detection device. The semi-automated, dual-channel coagulometer is ideal for low-volume laboratories performing routine coagulation tests.

  • Light protection cap reduces the risk of user errors by keeping the pipetting channel closed unless a cuvette has been inserted
  • Pre-defined assays with stored reference curves
  • Automatic calculation of PT in sec, % of norm, INR, Fibrinogen in mg/dL or g/L
  • Dual measuring channels allow for simultaneous determinations
  • Half-volume and single cuvette testing require minimal sample volume
  • Built-in thermal printer for consolidated result handling

Features & Benefits

The BFT II Analyzer is a dual-channel coagulometer designed for the lowest volume lab. It combines the advantages of mechanical and photo-optical clot detecting principles.

BFT II Analyzer - Features & Benefits

Total efficiency

  • Stores reference curves
  • Automatic result calculation, e.g., PT in sec, % of norm/ PR/ INR, Fibrinogen in mg/dL or g/L
  • Temperature controlled incubation block for reagents and samples
  • Sample mixing during measurement

Ease-of-use

  • Light protection cap reduces the risk of user errors by keeping the pipetting channel closed unless a cuvette has been inserted
  • Built-in timer for incubation
  • Membrane keypad for easy handling of test processing
  • Pre-programmed methods

Labor and cost savings

  • Half-volume and single cuvette testing require minimal sample volume
  • Memory function for reference curves
  • As a back-up analyzer, the BFT II provides data comparable to those obtained with other Siemens hemostasis analyzers
