Benchtop Chemistry Analyzer to Be Demonstrated at AACC Annual Meeting

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Aug 2016

A fully automated, compact benchtop chemistry analyzer that meets the diverse needs of small to medium sized laboratories will be on display at the 2016 AACC Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo (Philadelphia, PA, USA).

The Medica Corporation (Bedford, MA, USA) EasyRA instrument will be on display in the expo's Booth 141. More...

The clinical chemistry analyzer has been upgraded to enhance workflow efficiency by 50% or more. EasyRA's "smart" reagent wedges automate inventory management and are liquid, stable, and ready to use. The intuitive touch screen user interface, unsurpassed reliability, and modular design for easy maintenance make EasyRA the optimum choice for most laboratories.

Medica uses its proprietary knowledge of ion-selective electrodes and analytical microchemistry to manufacture a line of easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain, low-cost blood testing analyzers. Medica's products are designed for the small to medium-sized in-vitro diagnostic laboratory market.
