Sirrus automatically reads and manages bar coded reagent bottles and sample tubes. Most reagents have 30-day on-board stability to minimize waste. The intuitive Windows-based software screens make learning and operating Sirrus easy and quick.
Sirrus can run at a blazing 400 tests per hour. Dual reagent probes and a dedicated sample probe translate into higher throughput and faster patient turn-around time. The increased efficiency and use of reusable cuvettes translate into lower costs and thus higher profits per test.
