SpectraLyte-E4

The SpectraLyte E4 electrolyte analyzer, featuring advanced Multi biosensor technology and solid ISE technology, boosts productivity, turnaround time, and result accuracy. It measures Na+, K+, Cl-, iCa2+, pH, and Total Calcium levels with exceptional ease, efficiency, and reliability.

Benefits and key features
  • Multi-Biosensor Technology (MBT) — the electrode is maintenance-free, so there is no electrode conditioning in the daily routine.
  • Measures Na+, K+, Cl-, iCa2+ and pH by direct measurement.
  • 5.6 inch colour touchscreen for quick operation and fast troubleshooting.
  • Closed, dedicated reagent pack that is easy to replace, with an inside waste provision.
  • Low reagent and low sample consumption — 60–120 µl per sample.
  • Stable, robust fluidic system built around an advanced rotary valve.
  • Multi-level calibrators and controls secure the accuracy of every result.
  • Stores up to 6,000 sample results for easy review.

Three variants share the same platform: the E3 (K+, Na+, Cl-), the E4 (adds iCa2+ and pH), and the E4 AL, which adds a sample autoloader for higher workloads.

Performance — detection range, precision and resolution:

  • K+ — 0.50 to 20.00 mmol/L, CV ≤ 1.0%, resolution 0.01
  • Na+ — 15.00 to 200.00 mmol/L, CV ≤ 1.0%, resolution 0.1
  • Cl- — 15.00 to 200.00 mmol/L, CV ≤ 1.0%, resolution 0.1
  • iCa2+ — 0.10 to 6.00 mmol/L, CV ≤ 1.0%, resolution 0.01
Reagent packs

The analyser runs on a closed, dedicated reagent pack. Because the biosensor is built into the pack, replacing the pack also replaces the sensing element — there is no separate electrode to condition, clean or replace.

  • Closed pack design: no open reagent handling and no manual filling.
  • Easy to replace, with waste contained inside the instrument.
  • Low reagent consumption per test.
  • Multi-level calibrators and control material available for the full parameter set.

Pack sizes differ by model — the E3 pack covers K+, Na+ and Cl-, while the E4 and E4 AL packs add iCa2+ and pH.

Frequently asked questions

Which parameters does the E4 measure?
Na+, K+, Cl-, iCa2+ and pH. The E3 measures K+, Na+ and Cl- only.

How fast is it?
At least 100 samples per hour, with each result in about 35 seconds.

How much sample does a test need?
60 to 120 µl of serum, diluted urine or aqueous solution.

Do the electrodes need maintenance?
No. Multi-Biosensor Technology makes the electrode maintenance-free, and the biosensor is part of the reagent pack.

How many results can it store?
Up to 6,000 samples, reviewable on the instrument.

Can it handle a higher sample load?
Yes — the E4 AL adds a sample autoloader for higher workloads.

How does it connect to our systems?
Two USB-A ports, one USB-B, LAN and RS232, plus a built-in thermal printer and a barcode scanner for sample and patient ID.
