Clinical Biochemistry

With the Abaxis Piccolo Xpress, laboratories can perform routine chemistry using 0.1cc of whole blood, serum or plasma. The system uses patented reagent disc technology that allows a lab to perform up to 15 different chemistry tests simultaneously using standard laboratory reference methods. The Piccolo Xpress’ small footprint and low cost makes it an ideal solution for small hospital laboratories as a front-line analyzer or as a cost-effective back-up to a main system in all hospitals. Simply pipette the patient sample into the disc, insert the disc into the analyzer and results are printed or transferred to an LIS in about 12 minutes. No operator intervention is required. The Piccolo Xpress employs on-board continuous intelligent Quality Control (iQC) to monitor the analyzer, reagent reactions and sample to ensure the highest quality and accuracy in results.
