Pointe 180 Impulse
CATALOG #: 90.P3900-180
The Pointe 180 impulse™ is an ISE Electrolyte Analyzer specifically designed for the direct determination of Na+, K+ and Cl- by ion selective electrodes in whole blood, serum, and aqueous QC material.
Reagent packs, electrodes, and the instrument itself all contain unique electronics allowing for self-calibration and monitoring for trouble shooting.
The analyzer is a bottle-free, stand alone, bench top, ISE electrolyte analyzer designed for the direct determination of Na+, K+ and Cl- by ion selective electrodes. The unit contains a built in thermal dot matrix printer. The unit is programmable through custom software allowing the user to define programs following their own established protocols. The software is displayed on an interactive touch screen which guides the user step-by-step through the process using on screen prompts, error messages and graphical displays.
Reagents are supplied in packs which plug into the side of the unit with no user contact to waste material. The unit will track reagent expiration and quantity of reagent remaining. *
* Not available for clinical human blood testing in the US
