KODAK VITROS 950/950 AT

The Kodak Vitros 950/950 AT system uses the Vitros slides to perform discrete clinical chemistry tests on body fluid specimens.  The Vitros 950/950 AT system is capable of running colorimetric, potentiometric, immuno-rate, and rate tests.  All reactions necessary for a single quantitative measurement take place within the multi-layered analytical element of a Vitros slide.  Slides are provided in cartridges that are specific for one type of  test.  A slide is used once for a single test and then discarded.  The unique properties of these slides eliminate the need for the storage and mixing of reagents.

DADE  BEHRING ACA STARÒ

The ACA StarÒ analyzes patient samples by combining the sample with reagents and diluents in a test pack.  The resulting chemical reaction indicates the concentration or activity of analytes found in the sample.  This chemical reaction is measured photometrically.

At GLMC, we use the ACA StarÒ to perform the following tests:

·        Urine Drug Screens

·        Ammonia Levels

·        Urine & CSF Proteins

·        Neonatal Bilirubin

·        TIBC

·        Therapeutic Drug Level
