Arkray Adams HA 8180V Analyzer

Description
- Fully-automated HPLC glyco‐hemoglobin analyzer: The ADAMS A1c HA‐8180V uses high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) – the gold standard for HbA1c measurement – ensuring highly accurate and reliable detection of glycohemoglobin levels in whole blood or hemolysate samples
- Dual modes for flexible workflows (Fast Mode and Variant Mode):
- Fast Mode: Provides rapid turnaround at roughly 48 seconds per test – ideal for high-throughput environments or routine monitoring. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Variant Mode: Processes samples in about 90 seconds per test and supports hemoglobin variant detection (e.g. HbS, HbC, and flags for HbD/HbE), enabling accurate HbA1c measurement even in patients with hemoglobin variants.
- Broad measurement scope – HbA1c plus HbF detection: The unit measures stable HbA1c (S‐A1c) and fetal hemoglobin (HbF), and in Variant Mode can detect variants such as HbS and HbC (plus flagging HbD/HbE), helping avoid misinterpretation of HbA1c due to variant interference.
- Exceptional precision and accuracy: The analyzer delivers low coefficient of variation (CV ≤ 1%), giving clinicians confidence in the reliability and reproducibility of results – critical for diagnosis and long‐term monitoring of diabetes.
- Low sample volume requirement: Only ~14 μL of whole blood is needed per test, minimizing patient burden and allowing efficient use of scarce samples.
- High throughput and capacity: The system can process up to roughly 37 tests/hour, making it suitable for busy labs. It supports sample racks with one‐way (50 samples) or loop (100 samples) loading, enabling continuous, walk‐away operation.
- User‐friendly design and automation reduces workload:
- Cap‐piercing sampler: allows capped blood collection tubes to be loaded directly, eliminating manual sample preparation and improving biosafety.
- Large color LCD display: shows reagent levels and chromatogram graphs, providing intuitive monitoring and status feedback.
- Built‐in thermal printer (58 mm width): enables on‐the‐spot printing of results for record‐keeping or reporting.
- Memory capacity: can store up to 900 measurement results (including calibration data), facilitating data management and traceability.
- Flexible connectivity: supports RS‐232C serial communication (bi‐directional) or Ethernet (optional), enabling integration with lab information systems (LIS).
- Minimal maintenance and lower operating cost: The integrated column design eliminates the need for frequent pre-filter changes. Combined with efficient aluminium reagent supply, this reduces reagent and maintenance costs while ensuring consistent performance.
- Compact, benchtop footprint suitable for clinical labs: The unit measures 530 mm x 530 mm x 530 mm and weighs roughly 39 kg (plus ~4 kg for the sampler) – compact enough for typical lab benches while still offering full automation and high performance.
- Regulatory clearance and clinical diagnostic use: The HA‐8180V is cleared (FDA 510(k)) for use as an aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes mellitus – making it suitable for professional diagnostic labs.
- Reliable long-term glucose monitoring support: By measuring HbA1c – a widely accepted marker for long-term glycemic control – the analyzer helps clinicians track patient blood glucose over time, guide treatment, and assess risk of diabetes-related complications.
