Description

The MBChem 250 is a semi-automated clinical chemistry analyser engineered for routine and specialty biochemistry testing in physician-led laboratories. The system is built around a stable photometric optical platform using a tungsten halogen light source and photodiode detection, delivering a linear absorbance range from 0.000 to 3.000 A. It supports multiple analytical methodologies including end point, fixed time, kinetic, differential, ratio, and turbidimetric assays, along with dedicated PT/INR and APTT coagulation testing. An 18 µL flow cell combined with a triple cuvette system enables efficient reagent utilization while maintaining analytical precision. The analyser is designed to operate across diverse test menus with open reagent compatibility, supporting up to 250 programmable tests and storage of 2,500 patient results for longitudinal review.

Key Features and Benefits

Optical Accuracy and Stability: Photometric accuracy of ±2% or 0.007 A (0–1.5 A) and ±3% up to 3.0 A ensures reliable quantification across routine and abnormal concentration ranges. Hard-coated narrow band interference filters at 340–630 nm support broad assay coverage.
Efficient Reaction Handling: 18 µL flow cell with sipping volumes up to 1000 µL enhances reagent performance and minimizes carryover. A dedicated 15-position incubator maintains reactions at 37 °C, with real-time temperature display.
Workflow Flexibility: Supports biochemistry, turbidimetry, and coagulation assays on a single platform, reducing dependence on multiple instruments.
Quality Control and Calibration: Integrated Levey–Jennings charts, standard deviation tracking, and smart calibration functions facilitate ongoing analytical quality assurance.
Operational Reliability: Long-life halogen lamp with optimized circuitry, maintenance-free peristaltic pump, and robust ABS fire-retardant enclosure ensure consistent performance in high-usage settings.
User Interface: 5-inch color graphical display with touch panel/keypad and built-in thermal printer enables streamlined operation and immediate result documentation.
