- More than 70 assay protocols accommodate multiple sample types.
- Continuous random-access processing provides flexible sample management, easy calibration, and reliable results.
- Wide initial measuring range reduces the need for retesting.
- Intelligent and secure software offers password-protected, predefined user-access profiles and integrated sample result traceability.
Benefits
Atellica NEPH 630 System features the industry’s largest nephelometric menu of plasma protein assays.
- Flexible testing options enable testing on serum, urine, plasma, and CSF.
- Broad assay menu of more than 70 assays supports therapeutic drug monitoring, cardiac risk assessment, kidney diseases, neurological disorders, nutritional assessment, and iron and anemia assessment.
Intelligent software supports safe operation and timely data transmission, safeguards patient data, and facilitates quick, convenient technical support,‡ if needed.
- Predefined user-access profiles are password-protected to support tiered operator permission levels for safe system operation and patient data privacy.
- Smart Remote Services§ identifies and diagnoses potential hardware issues, enabling rapid technical intervention and quicker resolution.
- Advanced QC interface provides comprehensive statistics, allowing the transmission of control results to the LIS.
Continuous random access and a fast average throughput of 65 tests‡ per hour support flexible sample processing and rapid results.
- Flexible dilutions and automatic retesting can often be performed without re-accessing the primary sample.
- Sophisticated sample dilutions enable you to quickly add tests or retest samples.
- Samples and reagents can be loaded and reloaded continuously without interrupting the assay run.
- Integrated sample result traceability functions support intuitive historical data search and provide access to 2 years of onboard data.
High-capacity storage and automated features reduce hands-on time.
- Onboard reagent and control storage provides 24/7 operation, long onboard stability, and minimized operator intervention.
- High sample-loading capacity allows load-and-go processing.
- Positive bar-code ID of primary sample tubes minimizes manual steps and avoids sample mismatch.
- Automatic dilutions and repeat measurement of out-of-range high or low samples are performed without user intervention.
Proven nephelometric technology offers high precision and reproducibility that provide analytical advantages over turbidimetry in terms of precision and sensitivity.1-4
- High-sensitivity testing with nephelometry is considered the industry’s “gold standard” and is recommended by the IMWG and ESMO guidelines.5-7
- Wide initial measuring ranges and sophisticated antigen-excess pre-reaction protocols provide more-accurate results and fewer repeats.
- System detects specimen and reagent levels prior to processing to ensure accuracy of results.
- Graphical display of kinetic curves allows additional insight and advanced troubleshooting.
Innovative assays coupled with trusted and proven technologies support clinicians with reliable insight into disease determination and progression.
- N Latex FLC assay is the first immunoassay with clearance for evaluation of monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance (MGUS).**,††
- PROTIS® clinical decision support software† consolidates patient test results into one simple report with algorithm-based interpretation of results to support physicians in clinical decision making.
- Lot-to-lot consistency ensures concordance of results, providing physicians with reliable insight into the progression of disease.
- More than 50 years of experience in protein analysis has led to longtime cooperation with IFCC in developing widely accepted standards.
