COULTER Ac•T 5diff AL (Autoloader)
Automated sample processing for walkaway efficiency
The Ac•T 5diff AL significantly improves sample handling by eliminating manual
sample loading – a feature that not only saves time, but also lowers operational costs
and increases your lab’s overall workflow efficiency. In addition, the software enables
laboratories to upload QC assay values and download IQAP data automatically,
which enhances Quality Assurance program management while requiring less manual
manipulation of data.
Easy-to-use data management
• Easy quality control file management
• Patient storage for streamlined data recall
• Interlaboratory Quality Assurance Program (IQAP)
complements your lab’s in-house quality control efforts
and increases confidence in your results
• Downloadable IQAP data and uploadable control assay
reduce manual data manipulation and save time
• Qualitative flagging speeds review of patient results
and decreases turnaround time
• 20 user-definable patient and action ranges for
increased flexibility
Easy-to-use data management
system includes on-board quality
• Individual log books consolidate and automate
assurance, patient storage and record keeping
work lists for pre-assigning
patient demographics.
The Ac•T 5diff AL simplifies
daily tasks with informative
results screens and an
extensive quality
control program.
Easy to Operate
• Integrated autoloader processes 1 to 100 samples, loading up to
ten racks (each holding ten 13 x 75 mm tubes) for higher testing
capacity – 80 samples per hour
• Two additional tube holders accommodate tubes of varying sizes, such as
pediatric tubes, for increased system flexibility during manual mode sampling
• Internal point-of-aspiration barcode reader provides positive sample
The Ac•T 5diff AL has identification
100-sample loading
capacity. • STAT interrupt, enables operators to bypass the autoloader and load an
emergency sample for prioritized testing
• System recognizes whole blood vs. platelet concentrate and automatically
applies the appropriate linearity and reportable ranges
• Comprehensive on-board Help database
uses key word searches to help solve
problems quickly and easily
• CD-ROM Help software demonstrates
system operation and troubleshooting,
thus speeding training for new operators
• An external computer with Windows
software enables easy operator management
• Intuitive icons make the system easy to
operate and streamline testing workflow
Two additional tube holders accommodate
tubes of varying sizes.
