Benefits & Features

Increase precision and accuracy

Provide the accuracy your patients deserve with a validated system of ORTHO BioVue®Technology—the gold standard for manual and automated blood bank testing—with centrifuge and incubator. Proven reliable ORTHO BioVue® Cassettes offer clear, stable, well-defined end points, objective interpretation of results, the ability to use reduced sample volume, and a full assay portfolio.

Maximise space and convenience

Maximise space in your lab with this compact, 2-in-1 system that integrates ORTHO BioVue® Cassettes, centrifuge, and incubator. At just under 11 kg and with a width of 575 mm, the workstation is lightweight with a small footprint for space-constrained labs. With the ORTHO™ Workstation, your lab also has the ability to standardise on one technology.

Simplify operations

Make it easy for all staff to operate the ORTHO™ Workstation with its language-neutral icons, enhanced alarm systems,* easy-to-perform centrifuge QC using a tachometer, and quick access to holding area for centrifuge balance-cassette. The improved cassette incubator is designed for rapid loading and unloading of ORTHO BioVue® Cassettes.*
