The Instrumentation Laboratory ACL TOP 500 CTS is a coagulation analyzer designed for mid- to high-volume laboratories. It features closed-tube sampling and automated cap piercing. The system has a throughput of 240 tests per hour, with Prothrombin Time (PT) results reported in under 3 minutes. The ACL TOP 500 CTS provides clotting, chromogenic, and immunological assays. It offers the performance expected from larger hemostasis analyzers in a more compact footprint.
Its throughput levels are as follows:
PT: up to 240 tests/hr (240 samples/hr)
APTT: up to 180 tests/hr (180 samples/hr)
PT/APTT: up to 180 tests/hr (90 samples/hr)
The ACL TOP 500 CTS offers continuous sample and reagent loading, continuous operation, a rack-based sample/reagent transport system, and can hold 80 samples. Its onboard computer can hold 500 applications, half of which are user-definable.
The analyzer is part of the ACL TOP Family Series, which is standardized to deliver superior performance across the entire testing process. All models in this series are optimized to run with HemosIL reagents, offering complete disease-state management. Using the same reagents for all these systems ensures standardization and consistency throughout the lab.
In summary, the ACL TOP 500 CTS is a highly automated, compact coagulation analyzer that offers a broad menu for routine and specialty assays. It is designed to maximize simplicity, speed, and productivity in any lab environment.
