Operation

scil SpotchemTM EZ Operation

The scil Spotchem™ EZ is easy to operate - the result is obtained in only three steps. After a few handling procedures to start the analysis, the device fully automated processes the samples.

Step 1: Insertion of sample

250 µl of whole blood are filled into a centrifuge tube. The filled tube is placed in the rack on the sample tray and a pipette tip is placed in the depression provided for this purpose. During the analysis, the scil Spotchem™ EZ centrifuges the sample and then automatically pipettes the plasma thus obtained onto the reagent strip. 

     

Step 2: Insertion of strips

The reagent strips are inserted in the depressions on the sample tray provided for this purpose. The analysis is started by pushing a single button.
The Panel V strip can be supplemented with up to 3 individual parameter strips for the analysis. Therefore, it is possible to measure up to 9 parameters at a time or to measure just one parameter.

     

Step 3: Printout of results

After only 7 to 15 minutes, the scil Spotchem™ EZ automatically prints out the results and shows them on the display. The analytical results can be transferred directly to your practice software program if desired
