Excyte® 20 Automated ESR Analyzer

The Excyte 20 from Bruker (formerly ELITechGroup) more than meets the needs of laboratories requiring high performance and more capacity in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) testing.

With 20 positions and 15-minute test time, the Excyte 20 performs up to 80 sedimentation rate tests per hour. High performance and productivity features come standard on the Excyte 20 analyzer including on-board mixing, on-board QC, integrated positive sample identification, built-in printer and patient results archive.

Closed-tube sampling and Bruker (formerly ELITechGroup) direct-draw, plastic vacuum tubes help to ensure a safe work environment for laboratory staff.

At no additional cost, Excyte customers are encouraged to participate in an on-line, inter-laboratory comparison of QC data to evaluate performance and/or method against a peer group.

Features:

• High Capacity and Throughput
  Performs a complete sed rate test in 15 minutes. With a 20-sample capacity, the Excyte 20 delivers up to 80 sed rate test results per hour.
  
• Reliable Results with Excellent Correlation
  Delivers excellent correlation with the manual Westergren method, giving your laboratory confidence in results reporting. Automatic temperature correction delivers better reproducibly of results by normalizing values to 18^oC.
  
• On-Board Quality Control
  Allows lot number and value range entry for normal and abnormal controls, stores daily QC results for quick retrieval, and automatically creates Yudon Plot graphs to quickly analyze daily QC results.
  
• Positive Sample Identification
  The built-in barcode scanner quickly scans and stores patient identification, saving your laboratory valuable time.
  
• On-board Sample Mixing
  Mixes samples on-board, providing your laboratory consistent mixing which increases reliability of results while saving time
  
• Closed Tube Sampling & Testing
  Increases the safety of your laboratory personnel by reducing exposure to blood. Direct-draw Excyte plastic vacuum tubes provide peace of mind that a slip in the laboratory means no exposure to glass sharps and potential pathogens.
  
• Integrated Printer
  The built-in printer automatically prints patient and QC results after each test is complete, eliminating the possibility of transcription errors. All stored tests and QC data can be printed.
  
• Patient Results Archive
  Stores up to 500 patient results with ID that can be retrieved on screen or printed at any time.
  
• Random Access
  Provides your laboratory convenience and flexibility, allowing you to run tests at any time and in any order.
  
• RS232 Interface
  Provides the ability to interface to your Laboratory Information System.
