At the leading edge of technology Konelab 60 from the Thermo Electron Corporation is the flagship of the high throughput analyser for the busier laboratory. An integrated system for the simultaneous measurement of routine clinical chemistries, ISEs, Specific Proteins, Drugs of Abuse, TDMs and Toxicology, the system operates at a typical analytical rate of 780 tests per hour. The exceptional flexibility of Konelab offers assay development with few limitations. A comprehensive range of diagnostic kits is offered for all the analysers. However the Konelab instrument employs an ‘open reagent system’ should reagents from other suppliers be required. The Konelab systems can be linked together in any combination by automated transport system to form a workcell with one common sample input station.
