Automated blood grouping analyzer PK7400

fully-automatedfloor-standingcolumn agglutination technology

Product overview
The PK7400 automated microplate system is a donor testing analyzer designed for high-throughput immunohematology workflows. It uses proven agglutination technology and a comprehensive blood-typing menu to support ABO/Rh grouping, weak D detection, RBC antigen screening and syphilis qualitative screening.

Key benefits

• Analyze up to 300 samples per hour (with 5 diluted sample cups) to process large donor volumes rapidly
• Run multiple assays per batch to consolidate testing and reduce turnaround time

Workflow and usability

• User-friendly software with customizable menus and color-coded icons to reduce operator training time
• Minimized hands-on maintenance by eliminating quarterly and annual routine procedures
• Improved reagent visibility and online maintenance access via an enhanced graphical user interface
• Programmable fully automated startup mode to streamline daily workflow
• Onboard data management for storage and quick search of test results
• PRO Service remote service application to enhance uptime and technical support

Reliability and result confidence

• Time-proven agglutination method for consistent donor testing results
• Single manual barcode scanner usable for multiple purposes to simplify operation
• Visible status light indicator for remote monitoring of analyzer status
