Automated Analyzer for Serum/Plasma Protein Analysis
The SPAPLUS is a dedicated serum and protein analyzer supplied by Binding Site.
Binding Site's SPAPLUS is a compact, easy to use turbidimetric analyser providing a level of functionality usually seen only in larger analysers. The combination of an air mixing system, dual compartment reaction cuvettes and a hot water wash make the SPAPLUS ideal for Binding Site latex assays.
- Automatic antigen excess check
- Automated rerun & autodilution capability
- Windows® based software & bidirectional interface
St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York, USA, were the first to install the SPAPLUS in November 2007 and feel that the instrument is 'more accurate, reproducible and reliable than the method previously in use'. Click here to read further details of their implementation of SPAPLUS.
The SPAPLUS offers the following advantages:
Confidence
