CLINITEK Advantus® Urine Chemistry Analyzer

Greater Flexibility, Proven Reliability

Respond to demands for higher productivity and high quality with the CLINITEK Advantus® Analyzer. Streamline your workflow with flexible operation. Immediate start-up. Automatic calibration. Network ready. A wide range of options. Added QC features. Flexible operation to meet your needs.

  • Auto-Checks* for strip identification and humidity exposure improves data integrity, workflow and helps ensure quality results
  • Consistent, reliable results, with one-touch switching between test strip configurations
  • Automatic prompts and test lock-out if QC is not run for improved quality control
  • Automatically read, interpreted, and documented Multistix® test strip results
  • Throughput of 7 seconds/sample; up to 500 tests/hour

Features & Benefits

Enjoy the added capabilities of this urine chemistry analyzer:

  • Easy-to-use color touchscreen
  • Ability to consolidate microscopy results onto one patient record
  • Increased control with automatic QC prompting and QC lockout capability to ensure compliance
  • A total of three sieve functions – confirmatory and microscopic to flag abnormal results for quick review
  • Convenient data retrieval for up to 500 patients by patient ID, and 200 control results
  • Improved data integrity by automatically identifying and reporting results only from validated Siemens strip types
  • Improved workflow eliminates the need for manually selecting urinalysis strip type
  • Helps ensure quality results since every test strip is checked for humidity exposure to prevent reporting of false results*
  • Aids in results interpretation by adding sample interference notes†
