The Amino Acid Analyzer ARACUS IVD is available in two configurations: the ARACUS IVD Classic and the ARACUS IVD Advanced. This choice depends on whether the customer prefers a single-pump or a dual-pump system.
The technical specifications can be found in the respective configuration details of the ARACUS Classic and ARACUS Advanced models
The ARACUS IVD can be used according to CE Regulation IVDR EU 2017/46.
In this case a certain eluent kit according to IVDD 98/78/EC has to be used.
The intended application of the IVD kit is the detection of the free amino acid homocysteine and
for the qualitative and quantitative determination of amino acids in physiological fluids like human blood and urine for medical diagnostics.
There are two variants of the eluent kit IVD:
AA Eluenten-Kit IVD & AA Eluenten-Kit IVD advanced
Each kit contains the consumables for analysis of at least 500 runs, performed with a standard program of the ARACUS system. The shelf life of eluents and reagent before opening and activation is 24 months from the date of production. The AA Eluenten Kit IVD is classified as “Other IVD” according to Directive 98/79/EC and therefore may not be used for the detection of phenylketonuria within the European Union.
