Beckman Coulter AU480 Chemistry Analyzer
The Beckman Coulter AU480 is an intelligent and high‑performance clinical chemistry solution that delivers multi‑functional benefits for your laboratory. Ideal for small‑to‑medium hospitals and labs, it also serves as a dedicated specialty or STAT analyzer for high‑volume laboratories.
It achieves photometric throughput up to 400 tests per hour, reaching a maximum of 800 tests per hour with the ISE module. Enhanced on‑board testing capacity and reduced sample volume, combined with user‑friendly operation, help laboratories worldwide improve overall efficiency.
Overview of Beckman Coulter AU480
Powerful Testing Capabilities
Supports over 120 Beckman Coulter system reagents to expand your test menu.
Fast‑track priority STAT testing via the STAT rotor of the AU480 clinical chemistry analyzer.
Rapid handling of critical samples with automatic pre‑dilution and repeat testing for out‑of‑range results.
Efficient Reagent & Consumable Management
Ready‑to‑use liquid concentrated reagents minimize manual handling and routine reagent inventory work.
Low consumable consumption reduces total cost of ownership.
Convenient Operation
Context‑sensitive help screens and tutorial videos provide on‑demand operator guidance.
Intuitive graphical user interface and touch‑screen display simplify daily workflows.
Standardized workflows across the AU analyzer family minimize inter‑operator variation for consistent quality results.
