Medical Forum / General / Laboratory / May 2006Full automation from Beckman Coulter
Hi. We are currently considering the full automation sloution from Beckman Coullter with 2 DX analyzers and one DXi. Any advise or previous experience? please share. LWA > Hi. > We are currently considering the full automation sloution from Beckman > Coullter with 2 DX analyzers and one DXi. Any advise or previous > experience? please share. No "hand on" experience with Coulter, but when I went to look at these gadgets at - let's say "somewhere in southern England" the first thing that struck me was how BIG they are compared to an Advia or an XE. HTH Thank you HTH. I agree they are quite bulcky. In fact we might be facing a problem of getting them into the laboratory, we might have to cleave them. LWA I have some experience with B/C instrumentation from the hematology side. I have the LH-750 slide maker for three years now and like it. _Some_ maintenance required. However the B/c slide stainer was one of the worse pieces of instrumentation I have seen in 40 years. The B/C stainer takes up valuable space in my storage closet. This experience makes me suspicious of other B/C mechanic arm systems. > Hi. > We are currently considering the full automation sloution from Beckman > Coullter with 2 DX analyzers and one DXi.

The system can actually incorporate non BC analyzers, and it seems that this is the direction we are heading. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is reinforcing to us. LWA We have 2 DXis. They are very fast and easily cope with the immunoassay workload. I've been disappointed by their reliability and some assays, notably free T3 and progesterone have not been as good as I had hoped. Thank you Mike. This is important to know. Those two assays have been difficult to optimize on most immunoanalyzers. I'll take your point into consideration when I try this out. Sincerely, Laila |
