GIVING YOU PEACE OF MIND

 INTRODUCTION
Proven and modern technology meeting all your needs: reliability, flexibility,
convenience and economy. The design features and specifications make the
Selectra-E a true all-round analyser. As a main system, as a back-up system, for
routine chemistry or as a dedicated immunoproteins and drugs testing analyser,
the Selectra-E does the job without compromising quality.

The economical solution

With the Selectra-E your return on investment is guaranteed:
● Reagent volume is up to 30% less than most similar systems: giving you substantial
savings on reagent;
● Reusable long-life cuvette-rotor is the only dedicated consumable required,
saving you significant amounts on numerous costly consumables required by
other systems;
● High reliability and limited need for maintenance parts: offers you low cost of
maintenance;
● Optional Concentrated Waste System: saves costly waste removal.

Whether you call it Low Cost per Test or Low Cost

of Ownership, the unique features of the
Selectra-E save you money and guarantees
a quick payback.
 You name it, the Selectra-E does it
● Clinical Chemistry;

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
● Special Proteins;
● Drugs of Abuse;
● Therapeutic Drugs;
● Electrolytes.

Without any doubt, the Selectra-E continues to

show excellent performance for almost every

application. Low volumes, low concentrations,

turbidimetrics...the superior optical design of

the Selectra-E offers you the accuracy you need.

REAGENT ROTOR
Plus on-board reagent cooling under every lab

condition.

Throughput & True Walk Away Capacity

The Selectra-E combines throughput (180 tests

per hour; 300 tests per hour with ISE) with true

Walk Away Capacity (up to 4.5 hours), bringing

a much higher true throughput than systems

requiring continuous attention even with

higher theoretical throughput.

CUVETTE ROTOR AND WASHING STATION

System Intelligence
● Random Access;
● Continuous Loading;
● Level Sensing;
● Test Incompatibility;
● Pre-dilution and Automatic Rerun;
● Interactive Maintenance Procedures;
● Host Connection;
● Barcode Identification.

SAMPLE ROTOR
Features you normally only see in advanced

high throughput systems are incorporated as

standard in the Selectra-E. Giving you conve-

nience and economical solutions.

 Simplicity

SOFTWARE
Discover the simplicity of operating with the

new Windows™ based software. Mouse clicks

and/or function keys offer the operator the

maximum convenience desired.

Skilled laboratory staff will be able to run the

Selectra-E within an hour. System maintenance

instructions are also integrated in the software.

On-Board Quality Control

LOAD SAMPLE MENU QC results are stored in memory and are easily

displayed on the screen. The software calculates

the mean, standard deviation and coefficient of

variation. Results validation using Westgard

rules and a display of the Levey Jenning plot are

also included.

Three Reagent System

The software supports a “three reagent system”.

This feature makes the Selectra-E the ideal

EVALUATE SAMPLE MENU

platform for special applications, which require

long incubation times.

Network and Host Facilities

The use of an external Operator Console easily

enables the integration of the Selectra-E to a

local network. Further, with dedicated remote

control software the Selectra-E can be fully

operated and data can be examined from any

location.

Bi-directional Host Connection allows the

SYSTEM PARAMETER MENU
system to receive instructions and to transmit

data to the data management system.
