June 2016—The AIA-900 Benchtop model is now available from Tosoh. The AIA-900 uses Tosoh’s Unit Dose Test Cup reagent technology. Single, unitized test cups do not require premixing, premeasuring, or onboard refrigeration. The AIA-Pack test cup format works with every Tosoh AIA automated immunoassay system. Reagents are interchangeable, so laboratories with more than one Tosoh system can use the same reagents. Transition between systems is seamless, the company says, ensuring consistent results.
The test menu provides a wide range of immunoassay tests including thyroid, cardiac markers, tumor markers, reproductive hormones, anemia markers, metabolic markers, diabetes, kidney markers, and more. Most assays have a 90-day calibration stability and one-year shelf life from date of manufacture.
The AIA-900 runs 90 tests per hour, provides results in approximately 18 minutes, and has simple touchscreen operation, barcoded primary tube sampling, and automated pretreatment.
