STA Compact Max coagulation analyser

STA Compact Max, manufactured by Diagnostica Stago, is a fully automated coagulation analyser for the needs of medium-sized laboratories. The STA Compact Max analyser is capable of performing assays based on the measurement of coagulation time, as well as chromogenic and immunological assays.

Patented measuring method

The STA Compact Max device’s method of measuring the coagulation time is based on the mechanical registration of the viscosity change patented by Stago. Unlike optical methods, the haemolytic, lipemic or icteric nature of the sample does not affect measurements based on the coagulation time in any way.

Capacity and performance for many needs

The apparatus has sample positions for 96 primary tubes and reagent positions for 45 reagent bottles of different sizes. The built-in barcode scanner identifies samples and reagents. The barcodes can be calibrated for key tests. Reagents and samples can be smoothly added during the analysis, and the device can prioritise rushed samples over everything else.

The STA Compact Max has an easy-to-use Windows interface and can be connected to two-way LIS/HIS systems according to the ASTM protocol.

The device can be customised with intermediate data systems, cap piercing and an HIL sensor.
