Chemistry analyzers are used to test for analytes such as proteins, enzymes, and electrolytes. Manufactured by Thermo Scientific, the Indiko® Plus Clinical and Specialty Chemistry System is a fully automated, sample oriented random access bench-top system designed for clinical and special chemistries, including enzymes, substrates, electrolytes and specific proteins. This system offers optimal operational excellence for small and medium sized laboratories. The methods used in Indiko Plus are traceable to international reference methods and materials.

The Indiko plus analyzer combines reagents and consumables to form a reliable, fully supported system solution. It offers ease of use in the laboratory and supports routine daily work with its time-saving feature. Along with true operational reliability and walk-away convenience, this system is self-contained with no need for external water or drainage connections, which makes it quick and easy to install. Application protocols of the Indiko Plus include routine clinical chemistry tests as well as special tests, such as specific proteins, drug of abuse testing, therapeutic drug monitoring and immunosuppressant drug testing.

This analyzer has three different sample racks – two 9-position racks that can be adjusted for different aspiration heights and an 18-position for non-bar-coded 7 ml tubes, for user convenience. Its unique, low-volume cuvette design guarantees small reagent volumes, minimal amount of reagent waste. With disposable cuvettes, this analyzer helps lower the risk of contamination and shortens the time of analysis. It also comes with a simple and clear menu, allowing the user to handle the patients’ samples with ease as well as controlling the reagent levels in real time during work.

The key features of the Indiko plus Clinical and Specialty Chemistry System are:

• IVD compliant, automated, cost-effective solution
• Automated daily start-up procedures
• Sample oriented analysis
• Continuous access to samples, cuvettes and reagents without interrupting the testing process
• Ready-to-use system reagents save operator time and enables reliability.
• Measurement reliability can be monitored with a real-time QC program
• Minimal maintenance, maximized analyzer uptime
• Optimized, liquid system reagents
• Ready-to-use, maintenance-free electrodes

Any mix of sample cups and bar-coded primary tubes can be loaded at the same time. Automated clot detection, versatile automated dilution features, and reflex testing capability offers save operator time. This system employs colorimetric end-point and kinetic as well as turbidimetric and bichromatic reactions with or without sample blanking. Optional ISE unit uses ion selective electrodes for sodium, potassium and chloride measurements where ISE and photometric tests can be run simultaneously from a single sample.

A finely tuned system, the Thermo Scientific Indiko® Plus Clinical and Specialty Chemistry System automates the drug testing process and are highly accurate drug testing systems. It supports automated drug testing, which minimizes the risk of human error.

Leading online lab equipment stores offer the Thermo Scientific Indiko® Plus chemistry analyzer model at a great price as well as ongoing technical and maintenance support.
