Flexor XL
A Random Access, Fully-Automated, "Walk Away" Clinical Chemistry Analyzer with a throughput of up to 360 tests per hour (up to 450 tests per hour with ISE).
 |
The Flexor XL is an open system offering a wide range of testing, including Clinical Chemistry, Special Proteins, Drugs of Abuse, Therapeutic Drugs and Electrolytes. You name it, the Vitalab Flexor XL does the job without compromising quality. Having a throughput of 360 tests/hour (450 with ISE), the Vitalab Flexor XL is the ideal workstation as main system, back-up system or for special chemistries.
