Benefits & Features
Reduce errors and increase result quality
Significantly reduce analytical errors with proprietary Intellicheck® Technology and enjoy worry-free result reporting with the IntelliReport, which provides real-time status on the quality of every patient result. In addition, unique short sample, clot, and bubble detection offers greater security and single-use disposable tips eliminate sample carryover and cross contamination.
Increase result integrity for quality result reporting
Help to ensure the integrity of results with patient samples and reagents automatically metered into MicroWells, dual-logic processing for optimal assay performance and throughput, and Intellicheck®Technology verification at each step
Optimize labor efficiency to meet increased demand
Optimize efficiency by reducing operator intervention with the ability to load up to 20 Integrated Reagent Packs at any one time, which can be stored on-board for continuous, random access operation. The VITROS®ECiQ produces up to 90 results per hour (depending on test mix), helping your lab to meet increased demand. In addition, minimal maintenance, including no tubing cleaning or replacement, and no priming of reagents—even for start-up operations—means less operator intervention and true walk-away automation.
Contain costs and save resources
Save costs and plan ahead with patented VITROS®Technologies designed to deliver predictable financials and eliminate many of the hidden costs that can be associated with other immunoassay analyzers. The VITROS® ECiQ’s small footprint and no plumbing, drains, vents, or deionized water—combined with increased reportable results efficiency, fewer errors and interventions, and more effective staff utilization—lead to low total costs.
Maximize uptime and help ensure consistent support
Resolve technical issues quickly with highly secure, real-time, 2-way communication between your system and our support teams. And take advantage of additional process consulting and laboratory design services, as well as call centers, proactive monitoring, and experienced field engineers to improve efficiency.
Quickly and easily train staff
Quickly and easily train and cross-train staff members of all skill levels with an intuitive, easy-to use, color-coded graphical interface and built-in monitoring and reporting technologies. Start-up training and ongoing education programs can also improve laboratory efficiencies.
