Description

Cascade M-4 manual hemostasis analyzers are ideal for all routine clotting assays – PTs, aPTTs, thrombins, fibrinogens and factor assays. Designed for easy, inexpensive, low-volume testing, these analyzers are small in size but big on features, offering you many time and labor saving benefits. Operation is simple and economical.

Easy-to-Use Keypad, On-Screen Prompts – All tests are clearly enumerated on the keypad for fast, easy test selection – there’s no guess work caused by ”hidden” function keys. Computer prompts appear on the screen to conveniently step the user through testing. Default settings are preprogrammed but can easily be changed, if desired. (Instructions for changing parameters are provided).

State-of-the-Art Photo Optics – Independent photo-optic detection sources (four for Cascade M-4) read all samples, regardless of turbidity. Samples can be read in duplicate or in single.

Computerized Features, On-board Quality Control – Cascade M-4 store standard curves, calculate patient results, INRs and aPTT ratios. Quality control tasks are easy because Cascade M-4 can calculate mean, SD and CV, plus plot and print Levy-Jennings QC charts.

Compact, Lightweight – With benchtop footprints smaller than 15 inch wide by 15 inch deep and weights of approximately 20 pounds, Cascade M-4 are sized to fit any lab. Compact size, dependability and versatility make Cascade M-4 excellent choices as primary analyzers for smaller laboratories or as backup units for larger coagulation analyzers.

Features:

Modern coagulation analyzers are designed to measure the blood’s ability to clot and determine how long it takes for blood to clot. They can accurately evaluate blood platelet levels, coagulation pathway speed, and thrombolin and thromboplastin levels in blood samples in a few minutes. Helena CASCADE M-4 Coagulation Analyzers are designed for easy, inexpensive, low-volume testing and an ideal option for all routine clotting assays.

The Cascade M-4 hemostasis analyzer is used for measuring clotting times on samples of human plasma. This easy-to-use, inexpensive, low-volume testing device is ideal for clotting assays commonly performed in clinical laboratories such as Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Thrombin Clotting Time (TCT), Fibrinogen and Factor Assays (factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII). Cascade M-4 hemostasis analyzers are small in size but big on features, offering many time and labor saving benefits.

With a bench top footprint smaller than 15″ wide by 15″ deep and weighing about 20 pounds, the Cascade M-4 is sized to fit any lab. Some of the unique features of this system are:

  • Easy-to-Use Keypad: This analyzer features an easy-to-use keypad and all tests are clearly enumerated for fast, easy test selection.
  • On-Screen Prompts: Computer prompts appear on the screen to conveniently step the user through testing. Default settings are preprogrammed but can easily be changed, if desired. (Instructions for changing parameters are provided).
  • State-of-the-Art Photo Optics: Regardless of turbidity, independent photo-optic detection sources read all samples (in duplicate or in single).
  • Computerized Features: Some of the special features of Cascade M-4 include storing standard curves, calculating patient results and APTT ratios.
  • On-board Quality Control: These tasks are easy as it calculate mean, SD and CV, plus plot and print Levy-Jennings QC charts.
  • Compact, Lightweight: With benchtop smaller footprints Cascade M-4 are sized to fit any lab. Compact size, dependability and versatility make Cascade M-4 excellent choices as primary analyzers for smaller laboratories or as backup units for larger coagulation analyzers.
  • Sample Size: 50 μL, 100 μL, 200 μL
  • Results are automatically quantitated, displayed and printed.
