GL5
The GL5 analyser is used for Clinical & Research applications and includes five direct enzymatic-rate chemistries in one compact instrument.
For a relatively small additional capital cost over the Analox range of single parameter analysers, the GL5 can measure: Glucose, Lactate, Cholesterol, Urate and Alcohol.
APPLICATION AREAS
- Diabetes monitoring & research
- Clinical pathology
- Alcoholism research
- Sport science/Exercise physiology
- Routine biochemistry
OPERATION
After calibration with a standard of the selected metabolite, the single injection of sample is all that is needed to obtain a result and prepare the analyser for the next analysis.
Sample injection via an accurate positive displacement pipette triggers the complete analytical cycle and a hard-copy result is printed within 20 seconds.
