Flexible Slide Configuration

With the Element DC5X™ analyzer, configure profiles without wasting unneeded tests. Add electrolytes and lipase to any sample run. Run a panel, run an individual slide, or combine panels and individual slides to create virtually unlimited options specific to a patients’ needs. And with weighted slide stabilization, slides are transferred into the incubator seamlessly with no jamming.

Dry Chemistry Technology

The Element DC5X™ chemistry analyzer is powered by Fujifilm dry chemistry technology. The sample surface detection feature monitors air pressure changes and detects inadequate sample volume before the slide is wasted. Along with coated tips which prevent sample wicking, the Element DC5X analyzer brings advanced solutions to in-house chemistry testing.

No Interference from Lipemic Samples

The Element DC5X successfully eliminates lipemia as an interferent, while reducing the number of tests affected by icterus to a single parameter, and significantly decreasing the parameters impacted by hemolytic samples. This is achieved through reflectance (rather than absorbance) technology to measure the color reaction. This, along with the slide sample spreading layer, reduces the effect of light scatter on the sample. In addition, electrolytes which are measured by potentiometry are not affected by interfering substances at all.

Automated Dilution

Not all patient chemistry parameters fall within the measurable range of an analyzer. When an absolute value is critical to a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prognosis, the auto-dilution feature on the Element DC5X analyzer provides what’s needed.

In cases where patient results are above the analyzer’s measurable limits, dilution can be achieved in a few easy steps:

Add slides and sample tube.

Place a dilution cup and diluent (distilled water) into the analyzer.

Add tips.

Select dilution factor.

The sample rerun feature eliminates the need for data re-entry, simply recall the previous patient number, sample ID, and reference interval with the touch of a button.
