Specifications for Chemistry System for MMRU at Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center in Little Rock, AR

(1)A benchtop clinical analyzer for animal research. Requirement is a fully customizable clinical chemistry test, with over 30 plus assays and the ability to customized design new assays based on the customer’s needs. The analyzer must have open channels, allowing you to use your own assays. Excellent correlation to reference methods and high reliability. Minimal sample volume requirements with average of only 4 uL per test. This analyzer will be used to measure different parameters in serum, plasma and urine samples from animals. Measurements can also be ran using frozen samples that have been thawed.
