Sysmex CS-1600i
Sysmex Corporation. Japan

DESIGNED FOR VERSATILITY AND EXCELLENCE IN THE LABORATORY
The CS-1600 analyzer is capable of simultaneously performing clotting, chromogenic, and immunoturbidimetric methods
The CS-1600 analyzer enables the simultaneous determination of up to 15 parameters for a single sample.
Multi-wavelength technology, featuring an optical system that automatically adapts based on sample properties (analyte concentration, presence of hemolysis, chyle, or icterus), ensures highly accurate results even when processing "challenging" samples.
8 independent measurement channels, allowing for simultaneous testing—at no fewer than four wavelengths—using all the methodologies supported by the analyzer.
Hemostasis analyzer with a sample quality pre-assessment function
A comprehensive panel of tests (60 parameters for hemostasis assessment) — including both routine and specialized tests
Full automation of the analytical procedure with minimal reagent consumption
Productivity up to 120 tests per hour
Integrated automated system for quality assessment of the pre-analytical phase
Function for adapting the analyzer's optical system to the properties of a specific sample
Control of pre-analytical and analytical phases
Determination of the correct ratio of blood volume to anticoagulant, with the option—at the user's discretion—to accept or reject the sample for further analysis.
The optical system allows for the assessment of the level of hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia in a sample, with subsequent flagging of results that do not meet user-defined quality criteria.
The built-in reagent cooling system enhances their stability.
The procedure for configuring and updating the analyzer, as well as for backing up and restoring data and user settings, is quite simplified.
LIS connectivity
- The reflex testing function allows for automatic re-analysis based on rules previously defined by the user.
Process automation
Thanks to the capability to work with primary tubes, samples can be placed into the analyzer immediately after centrifugation, without any additional handling.
The cap-piercing function allows for the use of primary tubes and eliminates direct contact with biological material.
Reagents, samples, and cuvettes are loaded during operation, ensuring continuous testing regardless of the workload.
The capacity to load 300 cuvettes and 50 primary sample tubes ensures long periods of instrument operation without operator intervention.
When upper and lower limits for re-analysis are set, the system automatically performs re-analysis—using new dilutions, if necessary.
The STAT unit allows for the testing of up to 5 urgent samples without interrupting the protocol of ongoing tests.
Full automation of the sample dilution system, both for determining factor or inhibitory activity in plasma and for constructing calibration curves.
Quality Control
A dedicated rack for working with control material
User configuration of quality control procedure rules, based on the number of tests performed or a time interval.
Traceability of the result is guaranteed by the display of complete information regarding the calibrator, control material, and reagents—including lot numbers—along with the obtained measurement results.
