- An in-vitro analyser for laboratory use, delivering reliable, repeatable, and reproducible results to support confident clinical decisions.
- Requires minimal operator input for tasks such as sample handling, calibration, quality control.
- Samples biological fluids through a temperature-controlled (37°C) calibrated capillary tube.
- Manufactured with safety in mind, including optional through-cap sampling.
Clinical Viscosity: a crucial aid to diagnosis, condition monitoring, and clinical research.
BV200 Automated
Clinical Viscometer
- Built to measure the viscosity of biological fluids, including blood plasma, serum, and whole blood.
- Delivers reliable, repeatable, and reproducible results for confident clinical decision-making.
- Fully automated and capable of processing up to 60 patient samples per hour.
- Manufactured for efficiency with minimal user input: once daily maintenance and test initiation are completed, the system handles sample processing, calibration, quality control, and automatic cleaning between samples.
