SpectraLyte-AE2AE2

• Multi-Biosensor Technology (MBT) — maintenance-free operation, with the biosensor supplied in every reagent pack.
• Measures Na+, K+, Cl- and direct total calcium (TCa).
• Walk-away operation: 42 sample positions plus 2 dedicated STAT positions for emergency samples.
• Only 19 µl of sample, suited to paediatric and critical-care patients, with automatic sample dilution.
• Direct sampling from collection tubes, with a built-in barcode reader for sample identification.
• Built-in operating system on a 10.4 inch colour touchscreen; built-in thermal printer, with an external printer option.
• Smart functions: self-diagnostics, liquid level sensing for samples and reagents, probe crash protection, alerts, and automatic internal and external cleaning of tubing and probe.
• Built-in QC programme with tri-level control.

The AE2 is the desktop model of the SpectraLyte AE series; the floor-standing AE1 runs 58 + 2 STAT samples and is controlled from an external PC.

• Analyzer type: desktop, fully automatic.
• Method: Multi-Biosensor Technology (indirect ISE).
• Parameters: Na+, K+, Cl-, TCa (direct total calcium).
• Throughput: up to 120 samples/hour.
• Sample positions: 42 + 2 STAT.
• Sample types: serum, whole blood, urine; automatic sample dilution.
• Sample volume: 19 µl.
• Sample loading and ID: direct sample collection tube, with or without barcode, or sample cup; built-in barcode reader or manual ID.
• Calibration: automatic 2-point calibration, or manual calibration.
• QC: tri-level QC programme.
• Operation: built-in operating console with 10.4 inch colour touchscreen; built-in thermal printer, external printer optional.
• Communication: RS232, USB, LIS protocol.
• Power: 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz. Operating range 10–30 °C at < 70% humidity.
• Dimensions: 574 × 430 × 600 mm (L × W × H).
• Approvals: CE, IVD.

The AE2 runs on an all-in-one reagent pack that comes with the biosensor it needs, so changing the pack also renews the sensing element.

• Calibration Pack: EA-2 — 2,130 ml calibration pack, 2 L rinse solution and 1 multi-biosensor module (MBM).
• Dedicated pack that is easy to replace, with an inside waste provision.
• Low reagent and low sample consumption.
• Automatic liquid level sensing warns before reagents run out.

Which parameters does the AE2 measure?
Na+, K+, Cl- and direct total calcium (TCa).

How fast is it?
Up to 120 samples per hour, with 42 sample positions and 2 STAT positions for emergencies.

How much sample does a test need?
19 µl of serum, whole blood or urine — small enough for paediatric and critical-care samples.

Does it need a separate PC?
No. The AE2 has its own operating system on a built-in 10.4 inch touchscreen, and a built-in thermal printer.

Does it read barcodes?
Yes. Tubes are sampled directly, and the built-in barcode reader identifies each sample.

How does it connect to our systems?
RS232, USB and LIS protocol.
