The ABL800 FLEX blood gas analyzer, manufactured by Radiometer, is a state-of-the-art table top blood gas analyzer designed to deliver reliable results across 18 vital parameters. This advanced device is engineered to enhance operational efficiency in busy laboratory environments, allowing healthcare professionals to spend less time in front of the analyzer while ensuring accurate and trustworthy results. With the ABL800 FLEX, users can expect improved workflow and flexibility tailored to meet specific testing needs. The analyzer measures critical blood gases, including pH, pCO2, and pO2, as well as essential metabolites such as cGlu, cLac, and cCrea. Additionally, it provides comprehensive electrolyte analysis, measuring cCa2 , cCl-, cK , and cNa . The oximetry capabilities of the ABL800 FLEX include FCOHb, ctBil, ctHb, FHbF, FHHb, FMetHb, sO2, and FO2Hb, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of clinical applications. The ABL800 FLEX is designed to support sample integrity and mitigate the influence of potentially interfering substances on co-oximetry and creatinine measurements. Its dedicated measuring modes ensure reliable results, making it a reference point for blood gas testing. The analyzer features innovative automation, including the Drop-n-Go functionality, which allows users to place up to three safePICO syringes on the FLEXQ. This automation streamlines the process, as samples are scanned, mixed, aspirated, analyzed, and reported automatically, freeing up valuable time for laboratory staff. For enhanced efficiency, the ABL800 FLEX can be combined with safePICO syringes and AQURE's FLEXLINK system, which registers patient, operator, and sample IDs at the bedside. This connected solution links critical data together, further expediting workflow and improving overall laboratory performance.
