Complete Product Description

The Beckman Array 360 Analyzer utilizes two optics and two flow cells for maximum throughput- and has an on-line quality control program which can be used to generate in house charts and logs from QC materials.

- Up to 20 analytes per sample
- 32 specific proteins
- 80 test results per hour
- Continuous load for 40 positions can be run in sequence or as "priority interrupts".
- 47 microliters antiserum per assay
- rate nephelometry and nephelometric inhibition
- Units can be IU/ml- g/L- mg/dL- mg/L- U/ml- umol/L- ug/ml- mg/ml- and ng/ml
- Dual robotics and patient serum to dual optics- providing rapid- uninterrupted testing
- Test capability=60chemistries in memory with 3 twenty position wheels
- User-friendly software simplifies system set-up- patient demographics- quality control and test ordering
- Random access w/priority interrupt modes
- Single point calibration for proteins
- 14-day minimum calibration stability (seven days for therapeutic drugs) ensures the ARRAY 360 is ready for testing when needed. The system can copy reagent calibration from one position to another- eliminating additional calibrations


The Beckman Array 360 Analyzer is a diagnostic analyzer for in vitro quantitation of components in biological fluids by rate nephelometry and nephelometric inhibition through measurement of light scatter resulting from an immunoprecipitin reaction.

Individual tests- panels- or batch determinations are automatically performed for up to 40 samples with up to 20 analytes per sample. Samples are automatically diluted and delivered to reaction flow cells along with other reactants. The nephelometer derives the final result in concentration units. All tests requested for each sample are completed- including out of range and antigen excess checks- before printing the next sample.

This analyzer is composed of three modules: the analyzer- CRT display- keyboard and printer. The analyzer contains the nephelometric optics- fluid transport system- a twenty position reagent wheel- and forty position sample wheel- card reader- and an electronics compartment.

Excellent calibration stability from manufacturer supplied reagents of 14 days for each protein chemistry and 7 days for each drug chemistry

The instrument can also perform analysis for user prepared reagents and such user prepared assays can be stored in the computer memory.
